Clarification on Adoption Tax Credit "Going Away in 2011"

It is, at best, misleading to simply say that the Adoption Tax Credit is going away this year. Yes, the current credit that is available to families who adopt will be expiring at the end of 2010, so there is a possibility that there will not be a tax credit available for adoptions that are final in 2011 and beyond. However, my first thought on reading that the credit was going away was that the bill to keep the credit available must have been voted on and rej… Continue

Trick or Frosty!

Be the favorite trick or treat house on the block. Give out coupons for free Jr. Frosties this year for Halloween instead of candy. Go to any Wendy's location and get books of 10 coupons for $1. The proceeds benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

Making an adoption web button

Prospective adoptive parents often ask friends and family to help them spread the word that they are certified to adopt. We found that a "web button" is an easy way for people to passively pass on your info. This is basically a photo or other image that is a link to your adoption blog/website. Here are some examples:

Pass-Along Cards

My wife and I just had a successful placement and felt overwhelming support from our friends and family along the way. We were very grateful when others would pass on our info when someone they knew was considering placing for adoption. Pass-along cards were a very convenient way of doing this.

If any prospective adoptive parents have pass-along cards and would like to send some to me, I'd love to… Continue

Adoption by the mile - Are you game?

I did some serious running in high school as part of the track and cross country teams. I'll even come out and say that I won a state championship in the 3200m. Now a lot of my running takes place on the heels of a three-year-old. I do some casual running with some guys at work and run a 5k or 10k here and there. I've wanted to run a bigger race like a half-marathon or even a full marathon, but haven't had the time or a good motivation to train for one - until now!

I'm passionate about adoption… Continue

Thanks Shane!

Isn't Ecuador beautiful? I met the most amazing women there and those kids *sigh* so sweet. Did you ever try that candy that tastes like bubblegum? It was my favorite. It was like eating bubblegum that you were supposed to swallow. If you didn't, you so missed out.
