==Resources to Help Defray Adoption Costs==<br />
In many cases, tax credits, subsidies, employer benefits, and loans or grants can help with [[Adoption Costs|adoption costs]].<br />
<br />
====Tax Credits====<br />
Adoption tax credits may be available to defray some [[Adoption Costs|adoption costs]]. The amount may depend on family income, whether the child is designated as “[[Special Needs|special needs]],” and any other adoption benefits.'''3''' Parents may want to check with a tax professional to determine applicable benefits. With the passage of the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoption Act of 2008, States are required to inform any individual who is adopting of their eligibility for the [[Adoption Tax Credit|adoption tax credit]].<br />
<br />
'''Federal Tax Credits, Tax Exclusion, and Refundable Credits.''' Prospective [[Adoptive Parents|adoptive parents]] may qualify for an [[Adoption Tax Credit|adoption tax credit]] (an amount subtracted from their tax liability). They may also be able to exclude from their income some amounts paid to them or for them by their employer under a qualified [[Adoption Assistance|adoption assistance]] program. Find information about tax credits and tax exclusion for adoption at the IRS website: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc607.html<br />
<br />
The 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) revised the [[Adoption Tax Credit|adoption tax credit]] by:<br />
<br />
''Extending the credit’s expiration date''<br />
<br />
''Increasing the maximum adoption credit and the amount that can be excluded from income''<br />
<br />
''Making the adoption credit refundable, which can reduce tax liability and potentially result in an IRS refund if the credit exceeds the liability''<br />
<br />
The IRS offers frequently asked questions and answers about adoption taxes credits, exclusions, and refundable credits for adoption on its website: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=231663,00.html<br />

====Subsidies and Reimbursements for Children With Special Needs====<br />
Definitions of children with [[Special Needs|special needs]] vary for each State, but they often include children who are older, have disabilities, belong to a minority group, or must be placed with siblings. To facilitate the adoption of these children, who often are in foster care, States may provide reimbursements for some [[Adoption Costs|adoption costs]], as well as subsidies for some children. The Information Gateway factsheet ''[[Special Needs Adoption]]: What Does It Mean?'' provides more information on this topic: http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/specialneeds<br />
<br />
'''Reimbursement for [[Adoption Costs]].''' After families have finalized the adoption of a child with [[Special Needs|special needs]] from the public child welfare [[system]], they may be able to apply for reimbursement of expenses they paid related to the adoption, including home study fees, travel expenses to see the child, and attorney fees. Most States, under a Federal match program, offer nonrecurring adoption expenses reimbursements up to a set limit (which cannot exceed $2,000).<br />
<br />
'''Subsidies.''' Federal and State [[Adoption Subsidies|adoption subsidies]] (or [[Adoption Assistance|adoption assistance]]) may be available to help [[Adoptive Parents|adoptive parents]] pay for the ongoing care of children with special physical, mental, or emotional needs. In addition, some children qualify for SSI or Medicaid coverage. The Information Gateway factsheet ''[[Adoption Assistance for Children Adopted From Foster Care]]'' provides more information on this topic: http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/f_subsid.cfm<br />
<br />
<br />
====Employer Benefits====<br />
Many employers provide a range of benefits for families that [[adopt]], such as paid or unpaid leave when a child arrives in the home, reimbursement of some portion of adoption expenses, and assistance with adoption services. (Corporate human resource departments can provide employees with benefit information.) The Information Gateway factsheet ''Employer- Provided Adoption Benefits'' provides more information on this topic: http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/f_benefi.cfm<br />
<br />
====Adoption Loans and Grants====<br />
[[Adoptive Parents|Adoptive parents]] are sometimes eligible for a loan or a grant to offset some of their [[Adoption Costs|adoption costs]]. Such [[programs]] have specific requirements for types of adoption and may give preference to families with the greatest financial need or those with other specific factors. Some [[Adoption Agencies|adoption agencies]] may also have grant [[programs]]. More detailed information may be found by checking the resources listed below. <br />
