H.R. 213

I blogged about the Adoption Tax Credit earlier in the week.  I hope that those of you have an interest in this tax credit contacted or will contact your state representatives.  I quickly received responses back from mine.  Senator Lugar (R) told me that he is a member of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption, which is a bipartisan alliance dedicated to improving adoption policies and services.  He stated, "There is bipartisan and bicameral support to enact this legislation. I am hopeful that the Senate will pass the permanent extension in the near future.Thank you, again, for contacting me on this matter. I will continue to follow this and other adoption related initiatives with our mutual interests in mind."  Representative Buyer (R) said that in Jan. the bill was referred to the House Committee for further consideration.  He stated, "I will recall your thoughts should this legislation come before the House for a vote." 

Indiana Friends in the 4th congressional district, I am conviced that Senator Lugar will vote in favor of making the adoption tax credit permanent, but Representative Buyer gave me no such hope.  Contact Buyer HERE so that my thoughts won't be the only ones he recalls when it comes time to vote!
