\nWhat is the vision for the Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Our vision is a world in which every child has the love and security of a permanent family.<\/p>\n
\nWhat does this legislation do?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This legislation will make the current adoption tax credit fully refundable to help make adoption a supported option for more families! This legislation will make the current adoption tax credit fully refundable, removing income barriers to adoption for low and middle-income families, which represent the majority of families who adopt from the foster care system. Every year, more than 20,000 youth age out of the foster care system. We believe this bill can help to change that, bringing more vulnerable children and youth into permanent, loving families.<\/p>\n
\nWho supports this legislation?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Thank you, Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL), Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN), Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), and Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), and Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) for sponsoring H.R. 3031 to reintroduce the Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act.<\/p>\n
