Indiana: The Most Pro-Adoption State?

Regardless of which side of the political fence you sit, Governor Pence should be applauded for his pro-adoption policies. It was reported on December 26, 2013 that Governor Pence has proposed that taxpayers benefiting from the federal adoption credit (which was recently made permanent) would also be able to claim an additional credit on their Indiana state tax return. Governor Pence has also recommended that an interim study committee be formed to explore faith-based and community adoption programs and how to better connect the state's adoption services. Governor Pence has said he wants Indiana to become the nation's "most pro-adoption state."
