Adoption Tax Credit Set to Expire 1/1/2011

Planning on using the tax credit for adoption? Help petition your representatives for their support of The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act of 2009 so that the adoption credit is available for you and others that are in the process of adoption.

The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act of 2009 (Bill HR 213) was introduced in the House
January 6, 2009 and has now been referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
By repealing the designated termination of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation
Act of 2001, the Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act of 2009 would make permanent a tax
credit of up to $10,000 for expenses relating to certain domestic and international adoptions.
Under current law, the credit will expire January 1, 2011.

It only takes a few minutes to write, call, or email your government representatives asking for
their support of The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act of 2009. Let them know how much
you and other families rely on this credit when giving the hope of a family and home to a child.
Visit the following websites to find your representative/senator and where to contact them.
Mailed submissions (with a live signature) tend to have more impact than electronic or verbal
petitions, although any action is helpful!
