I realize this is some duplicate information from the previous post, but this is just a reminder of what we need to do to help this credit become permanent.
Help Make the Current Federal Adoption Credit Permanent by Writing to your Representative
Here is how:
1. Find the name and Washington, D.C. mailing address of your Representative and Senators at www.congress.org. To find e-mail addresses, click through to the Senator’s or Congressperson’s Web site.
SENATOR KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON - Website: hutchison.senate.gov
Washington DC Office
284 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-4304
202-224-5922
202-224-0776 (FAX)
202-224-5903 (TDD)
Senator John Cornyn - Website: cornyn.senate.gov
Washington DC
517 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
Main: 202-224-2934
Fax: 202-228-2856
2. Next, log on to http://thomas.loc.gov/ to find out whether your Congresspersons are already co-sponsors of the legislation. On the thomas.loc.gov opening page, under “Search Bill Summary and Status,” search by bill number for H.R. 213. Then click on “Bill summary and Status.” On the page that comes up, click on “Cosponsors,” “Text of Legislation,” or “All Congressional Actions” to follow the progress of the bill.
3. If your representatives have not signed on as co-sponsors of the bill, send them your request that they do so. Tell them how important the tax credit was to you when you adopted your children, or how much you and other families you know are counting on it to be available in the future.
Act today, your efforts make a difference.
Thank you for explaining the situation in your last post. I have been receiving emails about this situation for awhile, but none explained the debate behind letting the tax credit expire. Even if our senators and representatives are co sponsors (and many of them are), it doesn't hurt to send an email thanking them and asking them to continue their support.
