Everyone keeps talking about how great the adoption tax credit is, and I'm sure for some it will be a big help. However, it still makes adoption difficult because you don't receive it until after the adoption is final. And for some they have to wait a whole year from the time they bring their baby home until they can receive any portion of the tax credit. We're really struggling to come up with the last little bit that we need to bring our child home, and I wish there were a way to use part of the tax credit or claim it before the adoption were final. Don't get me wrong we'll take what we can get when we can get it, it's just not that helpful until after the adoption is final.
