| Tracy | Posted: Sep 11, 2004 10:31:24 PM My husband and I took out a home equity line of credit to pay for our adoption. Also find out if your husband's employer provides any sort of adoption benefit. My husband's employer wii reimburse up to $3,000 in legal fees associated with the adoption. There is also the $10,000 adoption tax credit you may be able to claim on your federal tax return. IRS publication 968 explains the credit. Good luck! | ||
