Unrelated - Federal Adoption Tax Credit Set to Expire - A Call for Help

Many of you may know me from my other blog, but some of you may not. My husband and I adopted our son from Izhevsk, Russia in 2008. His adoption is truly the best thing we have ever done and the best decision we have ever made. We thank God every day that his life was entrusted to us.

I've been reading a lot lately on adoptions, researching, thinking about adopting again, etc. While we aren't ready to adopt again just yet, it is on our minds.

I had heard the tax credit was going to expire so I did some research. Sure enough the federal adoption tax credit is set to expire December, 2010. This credit is what makes adoption affordable for many families, whether it be domestic or international. Our local Congressman, in the House of Representatives, currently supports The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee of 2009 H.R. 213, which would prevent the "sunset" of the tax credit.

However our two Senators are currently not listed as being supporters or co-sponsors of the bill.So in an effort to keep this going I wrote 3 letters yesterday which I am mailing today. One to thank our Congressman who currently supports the bill and the other 2 to ask for support from our 2 Senators.

Please I urge you to write your Senators, or call, if that's easier, to ask them to support the bill. I'm sending a copy of our Christmas card with our letter so they can see the family the tax credit helped to create.

You can track the Bill here as well as see who currently supports it.

You can find your US House Representative here.
You can find your US Senate Representatives here.

Here's a copy of my letter - feel free to use it as a template for yours, but be sure to write from your heart about what adoption means to you.

Dear Sentor ________:

My family and I are constituents in 'City, State'. It has come to my attention that the adoption tax credit is set to expire December of 2010. I wanted to write to ask you to support extending or renewing the credit. (The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee of 2009 H.R. 213).

We adopted our son from Russia in April of 2008. With expenses totaling more than $__________ (insert your number here), the adoption tax credit was a big help last year in helping us pay off a small loan we took out to complete the adoption.

Our son is the best thing that has ever happened to us and the best decision that we have made as a married couple in over 13 years.

While in Russia we were able to see other orphans, like our son, living in the orphanages. I will never forget the day we went in to his room and there were about 15 other children playing. Our son, even though we'd only met him for a few short hours the day before, immediately ran for me and started patting my legs. Suddenly I was surrounded by 4 little boys, all patting my legs for my attention. Then suddenly the most heart warming and at the same time heart breaking thing I saw was when I turned to look at my husband, who had squatted down and was rubbing the back of a small little girl who was hugging his neck as if to say "Take me, Pick me". I will never forget the look on his face that day. We would have happily taken every last child in that room if we could have.

Our hope is to one day adopt another child, but without the credit we feel that we would not be able to offset any of the expenses enough to afford another adoption, whether it be domestic or international.

I've included our 2009 Christmas photo card for you to see that adoption makes families and good ones at that!

Our son is three years old and has been home a year and a half now. He has almost passed the mark of spending more time in a family than in an orphanage. All children should have that chance.

Please support the adoption tax credit so that many families will find that adoption can be affordable, and for others like us, give us the chance to adopt again. Most importantly, support the adoption tax credit for the children who have yet to come home.

Sincerely,Rachel

I hope these letters make a difference.

CVS Scenario - Some Great Freebies - No ECBs Required

I scanned my CVS card today at the store scanner and received a $5.00 off any 2 Excedrin products so I headed over to the aisle with the pain relievers - sure enough I found the On The Go Packs (the tubes containing 10 tablets -pictured below) for $2.49 a piece. I purchased two, making them both free. It might be worth scanning your CVS card if your near a CVS!

Also you can get a 3-pack of Ivory bar soap for free if you got a paper yesterday and received the P&G coupon insert. The bars are priced at $0.99 and there is a $1.00 off coupon in the P&G insert!

You can still, before the 31st, get a Neosporin Lip Health tube (pictured below for free also). They are priced at $5.39 at my store (some stores at $5.50) but there is a clip free coupon (meaning just have the cashier scan your CVS card for an instant deduction) and then use the $3.00 printable coupon here. This makes the tube totally free!

I purchased the below for $1.45 OOP - I did use $3.00 ECBs on this one shamelessly as I did not receive any back - but I still have leftover ($7.00 ECBs)


Clairol Root Touch Up - $4.99, used $1.00 off MQ from yesterdays P&G insert
2 Excedrin On The Go Tubes - $249 each, used $5.00 off any 2 Excedrin CVS coupon from scanner
1 Neosporin Lip Health - $5.39, used $2.50 clip free coupon (scanned CVS card) and the $3.00 off printable mentioned above
1 3 bar pack of Ivory soap - $0.99, used $1.00 off MQ from yesterdays P&G insert
Used $3.00 ECBs, paid $1.45 OOP for all items!
What are you waiting for - go grab the Neosporin, the Ivory and the Excedrin (if you get the coupon from the scanner) all for free!!

Swagbucks - Swagananza

I know I previously mentioned Swagbucks, but this is too much fun. Each day they are offering a different gift card for a lowered amount of Swagbucks.

Today it a $5.00 cash Paypal credit for only 55 Swagbucks, instead of 70. Who couldn't use an extra $5.00! (You do have to have a Paypal account.)

My favorite though is still the Amazon.com $5.00 e-giftcard for 45 Swagbucks. Once you get the code for the e-gift card, you just sign in to Amazon and credit it to your account. I've purchased books, puzzles, and training underwear on Amazon for free - or at least for my time searching with Swagbucks which I would have to do anyway!

So sign up today and get started with 3 free bucks!

Making a Little Extra Money - CashCrate

Just a reminder that CashCrate is still out there and still an option to bring home a few extra bucks each month. Just in the last 2 days, I managed to rake up over $10.00 in earnings. You need $20.00 to cash out each month (they mail you a check). I have received at least 3 checks from them in the past and they are legit.

I recommend sorting the surveys/offers by 100% free and by rating. This way you're sure to only get the free offers and don't get roped into anything. Be sure to read the instructions by each survey - sometimes you only have to fill out the first 2 pages and click offers (not actually fill them out) to submit for your earnings.

You can sign up here or by clicking the green box on my sidebar for CashCrate.

Free Sample of Excedrin Extra Strength


Sam's Club is offering a free sample of Excedrin Extra Strength - no membership number is required. You can expect to receive your sample in 4-6 weeks.

FREE PHOTOBOOK!!!! Act Fast!

The Bonnie Hunt Show is giving away 25,000 Free Personalized Cover 8.5 by 11 Photoworks photo books. The kicker is you have to make the book and then when you check out, apply the coupon code BONNIE to see if you are one of the first 25,000. I just did mine and it worked great. I've heard sometimes it takes a couple of trys but being that I did mine later at night, it worked great!!

The book itself normally costs $39.95 and the shipping would have been $8.99 but the coupon code wiped it all clean!

Hooray for a frugal Christmas that looks expensive!

If you haven't checked out Swagbucks, you really should.

All you do is sign up, use the search box which is powered by Google and Ask, and win!

I use it for my regular internet searches and average two wins a day. Mostly I win one 1 Swagbuck at a time, but you can win many more! You can trade your swagbucks in for items like gift certificates.

Here's a free Swagbuck code to enter today - Swaggenstein. This is good through today - October 17th.

I use them for Amazon giftcards and today I made a purchase on Amazon for free!
