Lost Income

This is probably a stretch but.....Included in the adoption tax credit are expenses incurred during the adoption process. If an agency requires as part of the adoption agreement one parent to remain off work for a certain period of time (typically 6 wks for bonding), can lost wages be considered as part of the 10,000 credit if the parent is professional staff that would otherwise have been paid for that period of time? It's probably a silly question but thought I'd ask......??????
