What Issues Should I Consider When Having or Adopting a Child?
Overview
A new child changes a household budget almost immediately, and changes the long-term financial picture just as much, from college savings to who's named guardian in an estate plan. Both timeframes deserve attention, not just the immediate one.
Adoption in particular can come with its own set of tax credits and planning considerations worth understanding early in the process rather than after the fact.
