FROM STEVE KIRSH: I’m not sure if you have been following what is happening with Congress, but in the coming months, Congress is expected to draft and advance major tax reform legislation. Some members of Congress have proposed eliminating almost all tax credits, including the adoption tax credit, which has historically received broad, bipartisan support.
This tax credit has proved to be an invaluable tool that has made it possible for thousands of families to adopt time and time again. I’ve witnessed this first-hand throughout my career. And, now the tax credit may be stripped away making it harder for other families to adopt.
This is a critical time for all of us to weigh in with Congress to ask them to save the adoption tax credit. Members of Congress need to hear how incredibly important and valuable this tool is in creating families and providing children loving homes.
If you feel as strongly as I do that we need to do everything we can to encourage adoption and save this tax credit, there are three things that you can join me in doing today to help with this effort:
1. Share your story with Congress. By going this website: www.adoptiontaxcredit.org. You can share your story with your members of Congress and ask them to keep the adoption tax credit so many more families can be helped by this tool. We’ve done our best to make it easy for everyone to record their story with step-by-step instructions on the website.
2. Encourage others to get involved. SHARE this post and ask people to share their story as well.
3. Stay engaged. Once you are on the website www.adoptiontaxcredit.org please sign up to receive alerts so we can keep you abreast of developments in this effort.

Additionally....
As many of you know, the Adoption Tax Credit (ATC) is vulnerable and may be eliminated as part of tax reform – and we need your help to save it. Join us as we work to keep pressure on Congress to save the credit that makes it possible for all families to adopt.
We are holding two fly-ins in the next two weeks to talk to Members of Congress in person about the tax credit. Help us by sharing your story and creating a surround sound of voices defending the credit.
Now is the time for you to tell your story, and let your legislators know what the Adoption Tax Credit has meant for you and your family. Your voice matters – legislators will only #SaveTheATC if they understand the real-world impact and feel that their constituents support it.
Here are 8 easy steps to share your story directly with your Members of Congress!
1. Go to this page: adoptiontaxcredit.org/take-action/. Using your phone or computer with a camera:
2. Click Send Video. A new window will pop up - click Make a Video.
3. The camera will turn on, and you're ready to record! Click the red button to start recording.
4. When you're done telling your story, click the red button again to stop recording.
5. Review your video to make sure it's what you want, and re-record if you want to make any changes.
6. Click Send Video Message – and you're done!
7. Enter your info or log in with Facebook – it will ask you if your zip code is correct. Click confirm to send the message to your Members of Congress!
8. Click the Facebook and Twitter buttons to share immediately with others and encourage them to take action too!
And don’t stop there – once you’ve recorded your story, make sure to share it on Facebook and Twitter! Here are some sample tweets and posts, along with an attachment that lists each Member of Congress’ Twitter handle so you can tweet at them directly.
