Tom Chapman [Iowa Catholic Conference]
The Iowa Catholic Conference is registered in support of House File 100. This tax credit was created with almost unanimous legislative support in 2014. Adoption is an expensive process. The credit would assist adoptive parents, for sure, but it also assists birth mothers because adoption agencies and adoptive parents help pay for their support during pregnancy.The Catholic Church and Catholic Charities has always been supportive of the adoption process and helping all of the parties involved in that process. It can a beautiful choice for people. We want to thank the legislators for considering this bill.
