What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Fight for Families Act of 2025," proposes changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It specifically aims to amend the existing adoption credit.

The updates would apply to taxable years beginning after the later of the act's enactment or December 31, 2025.
