just my opinion

I don't feel it is the governments responsability to send adopted children to college. The fact that our government offers a $10,000
tax credit is generous. Adoption is expensive, but this is a choice we make. It certainly does not entitle you to free college tuition.
Where do you think the money would come from? It comes from taxes. I don't think it is Americas responsability to send your kids to school when most people can't afford to send their own. This whole idea would be unfair to people with biological children. Biological children do not come free or arrive with a scholarship in their lap.

I don't know what is available or not, but you are better off investing money into a mutual fund or something.

Don't take this the wrong way. I understand why the government helps with special needs children. I just don't think adoption in general entitles you to free money. I think if people keep expecting handouts, adoption is going to get a bad name.
