Contact your legislators!!!

I contacted Robert Aderholt today -- the first time I've ever sent an email (or anything, for that matter) to any political-type person. Here's why.
The current Adoption tax Credit, put in place by Bush, expires in 2010. Basically, in the year your adoption is completed (for international adoption) {for domestic, I think you can claim expenses as they occur}, you can list all adoption expenses and get a tax credit. You can carry the credit over for up to 5 years. It won't completely pay for adoption, but it definitely helps, and it's the only way some people can afford to adopt*. So contact your representatives and ask them to support the Adoption Tax Credit bill!!!


*Disclaimer: If God calls you to adopt(or do anything else), He will provide a way for that to happen. I would like the tax credit to be extended to infinity, but if it is not, I know that God will provide another way.

What are you waiting on? Go! Shoot that email! Thanks for helping! :)
