What is the difference between adoption disruption and adoption dissolution?
Q. I'm curious, people mention adoption disruption but do people really know what that is and why it's different from an adoption dissolution?

A. Laurie is right. People tend to use the word disruption for both situations, though.

How does the federal adoption tax credit work with international adoption?
Q. 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.

How does the dog adoption process work?
Q. My wife and I are thinking about adopting a dog, but I am not sure how the process works. We are kind of iffy about whether our apartment complex allows pets. There are people that have them and there is a part in our lease that says that we can't have pets, but there is also a pet addendum that says that we can. How does the adoption process work?

A. The shelter will want proof that you are allowed dogs. The process varies depending on where you adopt your dog. If you go to your local humane society they are so overwhelmed with dogs, they normally will just look up your complex and give them a call to make sure it's ok. You fill out your paperwork get a dog license and you're on your way with your new pet. However some of the nonprofit private shelters are a little more strict. They may want to make sure the dog is a good fit with you, the may do home visits both before and after you get your dog, request to see your vet records to make sure the dog is getting health care.

What to do before home study for adoption?
Q. I'm just starting the adoption process. I have found two special needs children that are currently in foster care. To be able to adopt either of them I need to complete a home study. Both boys are toddlers. What types of things can I prepare in my house before the social worker comes to increase the ease of the home study? Will I need to have a room already completed for a child?

How would you measure adoption to raising your own flesh and blood?
Q. Could adoption ever measure up to actually giving birth and/or raising your own child that is made up of your and your significant others genetics? Do you think a parent could ever have as strong of a bond with an adopted child as their own newborn child; this question would especially apply to women, considering giving birth is hard work with such a priceless reward. I also imagine how proud a father feels that he made a contribution to creating something as special as continuing his own bloodline and watching the child grow up with his own genetics and develop similar characteristics as his.

These rights violations included such practices as expelling pregnant students and firing pregnant workers, as well as taking babies from unmarried mothers without cause.

How much is a reasonable adoption fee for a cat?
Q. If you were going to adopt a cat from a rescue group, would a $100 adoption fee seem a lot if the cat comes already fixed, vaccinated, tested for disease, and all up to date on vet care?
Asked by <3 cats - Sun Nov 11 21:20:49 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Sounds great! A spay /neuter would cost more than that. When I adopted my two cats, I had to pay $100 for vaccinations and then near $400 for the female to be spayed (she went into heat, so surgery was more), and about $250 for the male to be neutered. Instead of going to a cheap place, I used my vet for the surgeries and had the pre-surgery blood testing done and monitoring during the surgury. You can get your cat fixed some places for like $60, but it is bare bones. Regardless, $100 is a great price for adoption. It varies from place to place, but $100 is not unreasonable considering that the place had to pay for those vaccinations, spay/neuter, food, etc.

A. 1. The stock market decline has cut the endowments for humane societies, meaning that less money is available for services. Open hours at shelters get cut. Ability to care for animals goes down. Shelters close to save money. (MA is closing 3 SPCA shelters) 2. People less likely to adopt pets. Shelters get full. 3. People give up their pets to shelters. If you lose your home, you often can't take your pets with you to a rental. If you can't afford people food, pet food is a luxury. Vet bills are an issue. Job loss increases abandoned pets. 4. People abandon pets to the streets or to shelters, pets often sick or suffering from neglect. Shelters have to pay more for care, euthanize more animals. 5. Shortage of donors and volunteers.

How exactly does the adoption tax credit work?
Q. My husband and I are considering an international adoption. We normally overpay on our taxes and as a result get money back every year when we do our taxes. I am not sure how this works with the adoption tax credit. Will we get that much more money back? Just trying to figure out if we can financially afford it and this information would really help.

A. I have not verified this but, from what I understand the Adoption Tax Credit will be changing if it has not yet. The Current Rules will Expire in 2010 Families who adopted Domestically or Internationally could claim the tax credit and were required to Document their expenses in order to do so. Any Employer Adoption Credit had to be deducted from the Tax Credit. Families who adopted children from foster care can take it without proving the expenses to adopt (since there really arn't any) The Tax credit was originally designed to make it a little more possible for families to Adopt Children our Taxes are already supporting.

How long have you been in the adoption section and what is the most important thing you learned?
Q. I have been here since June when I came to ask a question about searching for my bio-mother. The most important thing I learned: Adoption is not as easy as getting "the baby," and alot of people do not think enough about its impact.

A. Been here on and off about 6 months. I've learned alot of adoptees are unhappy about their adoption and that sometimes adoption is corrupt. I haven't learned many positives about adoption at all in this section. Generally I feel this is a site that is mostly anti adoption.

How much do you pay for an adoption fee where you live?
Q. We got a mutt from the dog shelter and we had to pay a AU$350 adoption fee. At that particular shelter their dogs range from AU$200 to $450 depending on age and type. I think it's much the same at the other shelters around my area.

A. Like yours, the price depends on the age and type, as well as if the animal is fixed. It can vary from $40 (kittens) to $250. $250 is the highest I've seen, and that was for a purebred Lab with gundog training who'd already been neutered.
