Well, here's the kicker:

But the tax law allows parents who adopt "special needs" children to receive the entire credit even if they had no expenses.

For once I’m on the government side, if these children were in the system they were costing way more than 13k per year so it is probably a net savings for the government.

If people will stop and think...the tax credit gets special needs children out of expensive institutions. Good for the child and good for taxpayers. I don’t like government involvement in these things, until we can get the government out fo the social welfare business, this saves taxpayers money.

My neighbors across the street are doing this. An investigator for the State of Texas came by asking us questions about them a month or so ago. The lady who is on the lease is claiming that she's unmarried. Her husband lives there with here, along with about 8 other children. One of them is special needs. All are foster kids. None of the adults work. They have destroyed the house (which is quite a bit nicer and more expensive than my house), and the special needs girl (about 4 years old) runs around the neighborhood naked.

I tell you, I'm glad I have a job, because they are dependent upon me to pay for their lifestyle.
