[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PPs who had a good experience in Baltimore City. That said, I don't know that it's your average Adoption Day experience. At our hearing it was about 3/4 lesbian couples, including us, and it's my understanding that that is often the case. People were happy, [b]but it was happiness tempered with "I just spent a crapload of money adopting my own kid because of the lack of recognition of my family[/b]."[/quote] The federal tax credit is sufficient to cover the entire cost of the second parent adoption for those lesbian couples. Not saying there might not be resentment over the lack of recognition for the family, but it's not a money issue.[/quote]
