We had thought that perhaps the national child tax credit could be expanded to include invisible disabilities. We'd like the committee to do some research on that. We're looking for a way to support families with children with disabilities, many of whom start out in the foster care system and then are adopted without further supports. In many cases, they lose their supports when they get adopted. The money doesn't follow the child.
