him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the table; as

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO MAKING 
                   ADOPTION MORE AFFORDABLE.

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, 
     aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution, 
     and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or 
     more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between 
     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to making 
     adoption more affordable, which may include making the 
     adoption tax credit refundable, funding for training and 
     counseling on behavioral issues of adopted children, peer-to-
     peer mentoring and support groups for adoptive parents, 
     treatment services specialized for adopted children, crisis 
     and family preservation services, grants to eligible entities 
     to develop and implement State-sponsored post-adoption mental 
     health service programs for all adopted children, and 
     ensuring that the fee schedule for international adoption 
     accrediting entities does not impose undue financial burdens 
     on families seeking to adopt internationally, by the amounts 
     provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided 
     that such legislation would not increase the deficit over 
     either the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 
     2025 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 
     2030.
