Just what you wanted to think about on a random Thursday - filing income tax returns! When we first started talking about fundraising for this adoption, it was important to me to find an option for people to make tax-deductible contributions (a result of my line of work!). We had to wait until we were through the paperwork phase of this process, which we finally are!
One of the unfortunate byproducts of the pandemic is that the agency partners in Bulgaria have raised their fees. Translation services increased by $1,900. When a referral of a child is given, the fee increased by $1,000. The court fee increased by $700. We continue to save as much as we possibly can, but please know we immensely appreciate every penny donated to our adoption. We have been so very touched by the outpouring of support through our puzzle fundraiser and some of you have specifically asked about tax-deductible gifts.
So, long story short, below is the site where you can make a tax-deductible donation. The funds are earmarked for our family and when we receive invoices from our agency, we apply for the funds. If you have already given to our puzzle fundraiser and are now remorseful that you cannot take it as a tax-deduction, please reach out to us and we'll work it out! :)
Thank you again for the support you've shown to the Hemmings family. Not only through donations but through your friendship and prayers.
