Financial Aid

The adoption process can be expensive, however, we have several financial aid opportunities that you can take advantage of. Here are some of the available resources to assist you in financing your adoption:

Federal Adoption Tax Credit: This  tax credit is a dollar for dollar reduction in your overall tax liability.  The Adoption Tax Credit is a permanent part of the tax law and increases each year.  This credit allows adoptive families to recoup some of their adoption expenses once the adoption is finalized and with qualified adoption expenses.  To learn more about the credit go to:  Adoption Tax Credit or go to Save the Adoption Tax CreditThe 2023 tax credit is $15,890.

State Adoption Tax Credit: Classified state employees are entitled to a State Adoption Employee Benefit allowing them to receive up to $3,000 per adoption.
