State Rep. Joe Sosnowski joined Governor Bruce Rauner at Children’s Home & Aid in Rockford on Thursday to announce Illinois’ first-ever Adoption Tax Credit. Included in the new FY 2019 state budget that takes effect on July 1, the Adoption Tax Credit will provide assistance to adoptive parents who provide stable, loving homes for needy children here in the Rockford region and throughout the state; up to $5,000 per child.
