There is help available. The federal Adoption Tax Credit provides funds for qualifying expenses paid to adopt an eligible child. The credit is indexed for inflation and will increase annually. Eligible expenses include adoption fees, court costs, attorney fees, traveling expenses (including amounts spent for meals and lodging) and other expenses directly related to your adoption.

There is an income limit for this credit.

LawAdoption.com Further, many large employers offer adoption assistance. Those payments may qualify for exclusion from your income for tax purposes in addition to the tax credit.

If you adopt a special needs child or a child from foster care, the cost is usually less and a monthly adoption subsidy is often available to help pay for things like remedial educational services, physical therapy and medical care. You may also take the entire amount of the tax credit even if you don’t incur those costs.
