The Hope for Children Act would increase the adopting tax credit for each adoption to $10,000 and make the process more affordable for middle-class families.

Today, I reintroduce the Hope for Children Act to help ease the financial burden on those who want to give a child a loving home.

With the average adoption costing between $8,000-$25,000, we need to do more to promote adoption.

We owe it to those children to put aside political differences and pass pro-adoption legislation this year.
