This tax credit provides the adoptive parents with a $10,000 credit per child for expenses paid to adopt. For incomes below $150,000, the entire credit can be taken. For incomes between $150,000-$180,000, a partial credit can be taken. For detailed information, review IRS Form 8839 and instructions. 800-829-3676 www.irs.gov/instructions/i8839/index.html
The longer children wait in foster care, the longer they go without knowing what it’s like to have a permanent home. Ten-year-old Katy has been in foster care since a young age. Behind her dimpled cheeks and freckled face (which she calls “angel kisses”) is a curious little girl who loves life.
We took Katy to The Sanctuary at J&M Aviaries, and she was clearly in her element. Katy says she wants to be a veterinarian because she loves animals. This fourth grader does really well in school. Of course, she likes summer as well. “We went swimming every day. I went to the lake. Found a lot of seashells. Made necklaces,” she said.
Foster care is almost all the family like Katy knows. But she remain upbeat and optimistic
about getting adopted. Katy understands what adoption is because she’s seen it happen for other children. But
this spunky, husky-voiced Texan needs it to happen for her.

We want the children that come into our care to be cherished and valued, and for them to know that God has an incredible purpose and plan for their life. Children’s tears will be wiped, they will be held and comforted, and God will heal their broken hearts. View Video
“We just wanted to send you all another round of thanks…. This was one of the happiest days of our lives! (their adoption day)…this was a testament to the job that each of you do for children. Again, thanks for all you do for us and for the children of Texas. God bless you all.”
