On the recordMay 17, 2001
I enthusiastically support H.R. 622, the Hope for Children Act. One of the caseworkers in my district office has adopted five children. The costs of adoptions are exorbitant, often running $40,000 to $50,000 per child. Doubling the adoption tax credit to $10,000 is a positive first step in helping families meet these costs. Easing the financial burden of adoption makes it possible for more families to give children a loving family and a stable home, something every child deserves. I thank the chairman, the gentleman from California (Mr. Thomas), for this beginning. I am proud to support this important bill, and I urge my colleagues to do so as well. Vote aye for H.R. 622.
