Paigeturner- I cant disagree with you more on the adoption tax credit. My tax dollars go toward alot of things i dont like paying for either. But a huge reason on why people CAN adopt IS because of the adoption tax credit. And believe me, it doesnt cover the whole thing. We arent getting a bonanza, not even close. Personally there alot worse things we are paying for as tax payers than the adoption tax credit which, by the way, helps the child also, not just "charity" to the adoptive parents. Which in my opinion IS NOT charity to begin with. I am not going to ENJOY my tax credit because it will be going toward my LOAN that i took out to adopt. Which is only going to cover a portion of the adoption. And contrary to popular belief, many aparents are not rich.

So maybe we should do away with state health insurance, which my tax dollars pay for, because i'm sure people ENJOY not paying for their health insurance and letting others foot the bill while i pay $600 a month for mine and then some for theirs!! there are alot of things that need to change in the adoption industry, but i personally think that the tax credit isnt the first that needs to be addressed!!!
