From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another who is not kin and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents. Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction. Historically some societies have enacted specific laws governing adoption whereas others have endeavored to achieve adoption through less formal means, notably via contracts that specified inheritance rights and parental responsibilities. Modern systems of adoption, arising in the 20th century, tend to be governed by comprehensive statutes and regulations. Adoption has a long history in the Western world, closely tied with the legacy of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Its use has changed considerably over the centuries with its focus shifting from adult adoption and inheritance issues toward children and family creation and its structure moving from a recognition of continuity between the adopted and kin toward allowing relationships of lessened intensity.

I know that we would need to spend the 11,000 or so in adoption expenses in order to get that matched in credit, but how does the tax credit actually work? If we fill out our taxes and we are getting a refund of say $500, do we get the credit on top of that or do we have to owe money in order to receive any of the credit? Asked by taking a trip - Thu Apr 12 21:51:20 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. For international adoption, you can only take the adoption credit if the adoption was finalized in 2006. The adoption credit is a non-refundable credit. This means the credit can reduce your tax liability down to $0. But if a tax payer don't owe any taxes, the adoption credit will not give the tax payer more money back. So if you are getting $500 refund because you overpay taxes, then you will get more money with adoption credit. If you are getting $500 because you are claiming Earned Income Credit, then adoption credit may not add to the amount of your refund. See instruction for form 8839 Best wishes.

I gave a child up for adoption recently, and have been receiving date invitations, and have turned them down. However, I do wish to date. How soon is it "alright" to do so? Asked by Kati S. - Tue Dec 25 16:18:11 2007 - - 11 Answers - 1 Comments A. I think you should get on with your life as soon as you are ready. Just make sure you don't repeat past mistakes. I'm proud of you for making a loving choice for your child. It was the hardest choice and I'm sure even harder after you gave birth. I am the mother of a 28 year old adopted daughter. I prayed frequently for my daughters biological mother and I suspect there's someone out there praying for you too.
