Florida's Adoption Assistance Program

While researching post adoption resources in Hillsborough County today, I came across this very helpful link: www.adoptflorida.com/assistance-program.htm.

It includes information on everything from maintenance subsidies to the federal tax credit (please make sure you check into your eligibility for this if you haven't already...it could literally decrease your amount of federal tax owed by thousands of dollars) to the college tuition exemption and more. Great resource...thanks, Florida's Adoption Information Center, for making this info. so readily accessible!
