Radis Adoptions - Adoption Pregnancy Center

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.

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..

Adoption Costs

When you make the decision to enter into the adoption process, you begin a very emotional journey. Part of that journey will involve the costs of the adoption. Included in the costs of adoption are medical expenses, legal fees, travel costs, and bureaucratic expenses. Often people are under the impression that international adoption is more inexpensive than domestic adoption; however, each type of adoption is associated with its own type of costs. Domestic adoptions often require budgeting living expenses for a birth mother. However, international adoptions require the purchase (and ongoing maintenance of) a visa for the adoptive child.

As with any profession, each agency or lawyer that you go to is going to have a different structure set up for fees and payments. Regardless of which adoption agency or adoption attorney you elect to go through, you should carefully consider the costs which you will be asked to pay and the services which you are receiving from them.

Many people ask if they should choose an adoption program that is inexpensive. The answer is this: you should choose an adoption program that is of good quality. Check their background. There are many illegitimate adoption options, and you want to be sure that the process you engage in is completely lawful. Your should consider the quality of service you will receive, safety, cost as well as how much time you will be required to spend in the process.

When you call Accredited Adoption Service - the Law Offices of David J. Radis - you will be able to ask as many questions as you need. We will set up a 3 hour appointment with you to go over all of our services in detail. We'll explain the costs, the waiting times, and the process in depth. You can decide whether or not to put David on retainer after you have carefully considered your options.
