I would like the federal government to have an umbrella that would expand on tax benefits specific for families with adoption, because assessments, medical attention, therapy, and educational expenses are daunting for families. That at least would be a tax benefit.
I don't believe that throwing money at families at the front end is a benefit. I have seen families come forward because I have dealt with some interprovincial adoptions, and different provinces provide more money for adoptive families than others. I literally had a family that said “We want to quit our jobs, so we're going to adopt some kids and raise kids”. That's not what we're looking for.
We're looking for families that are faithful with the children they have, pursuing the needs that they have. They could have a benefit or reimbursement for the services they provide for their children, to encourage them to pursue all that's available to them, and at the government level they would meet that need.
