  • Just got a call from an old client. Their daughter is 13 and a star student &  athlete at her school. It is these calls that make my day. No matter what else happens today, knowing this teenager is doing  great is enough. I intend to kiss the wife and both dogs tonight with just a little more joy in my step.
  • Today the Supreme Court of the United States is hearing an ICWA case out of South Carolina.  The fate of a three year little girl rest with these nine jurists.  Does Veronica  stay with her biological father or return to her adoptive parents?  The SCOTUS decision is expected in June.

    If you are interested in reading about Baby Veronica. Use your search engine and search for " Baby Veronica ICWA ." If you chose to reseach this case, please read both sides before you form an opinion about whose side is the correct side.

    Just ran into an old client. We recognized each other right away. Twenty-two years after the fact. It was great to catch up. Her daughter is going to medical school. Her son into the Marine Corps. It's such a rush to hear these positive stories of how well adopted children are doing.

    Adoption is more than a career.

    I heard of an interesting case out of New Jersey today. The New Jersey Supreme Court held that prenatal drug use by a mother was not a basis for finding child abuse or neglect.  There needs to be evidence that there is imminent danger to the child or actual evidence of harm to the child.

    I hope this frees up more children for direct private placements adoptions without involvement by a social service department bent on fostering.

    I read about two interesting cases recently. They are not both adoption cases but have implications to the adoption field.

    The first one is EX PARTE HOPE ELISABETH ANKROM, an Alabama case dealing with the offense of chemical endangerment of a child. The Supreme Court held that " offense of chemical endangerment of a child , includes unborn children." it is my understanding the child lived 19 minutes.

    With addiction being a problem in the adoption field , testing of birth mother candidates is extremely important. If the birth  mother tests positive are the lawyers...
  • Adoption Day in Los Angeles County, the best! I have three adoption finalizations set for this morning. Three very happy families. Adoption Finalization Day is an important day. Today all the stress is over.

    The Judge usually asks me to do a card trick or two which makes adoption more Magical.


  • To all you adoptive parents out there, the Federal tax legislation allows for a tax credit for adoption expenses incurred in 2013.  The maximum tax credit is $12,970 Those with a modified adjusted gross income of $194,580 or less qualify for the full credit. The amount of the credit graduates downward to zero as incomes approach $234,580.

    This will help to make  the magic that is adoption more affordable for more  prospective adopting families..

Benefits of Adoption For Children

Young Adopted GirlThere are many children in the United States who don't have a place of their own to call home, or two people to call their parents. They are in government-ran agencies or at charitable locations across the country. It's unfortunate, but also a reality. Children do well in these types of care facilities, but it's obvious that they would benefit from having their own home and own caregivers who they can call mom and dad.

Ultimately, it's the main goal of adoption agencies to place their children with suitable homes. A child flourishes tremendously once they are placed in a home with two loving parents. A home can provide stability and structure that these children have never had before in their lives. They don't know what it's like to wake up each morning and say hi and goodbye to their parents before going to school. They don't have parents to come home to at the end of the day and eat dinner with. They may have structure at the agencies, but it's not the same as a family structure.

Children thrive once they are placed in homes. Having parents who love them and will support them makes them feel safe and secure. Naturally, they may worry that the parents won't want them if they do something wrong, or they may think that their new parents won't love them. These are all myths, of course, and children realize it through their new parents' actions.

Adoption agencies work hard to screen parents prior to the actual adoption to make sure that they're good people and that they truly care about the best interests of their potential new child or children. The new parents will give the child individual attention that they so need and deserve. Unfortunately, at care centers, there are a large number of children and just not enough staff members available to give each child the attention and interest that they need.
