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 For Unmarried Couples

More and more couples have decided to put off marriage. Radis Adoptions has noticed a trend lately in the number of adoptions being requested by unmarried couples. Some states have very strict laws regarding who can or cannot adopt a child. Sometimes, couples who aren't married may be turned away completely from being able to adopt. Our adoption attorney will work with you and your partner to figure out the best way to tackle the adoption process and adopt a child you've always dreamed of. Depending on the circumstances, the adoption process for an unmarried couple can become very complex and complicated. It's recommended that you have a trusted adoption attorney on your side to assist you.

Joint Adoption

Understandably, the adoption laws vary from state to state and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Depending on the adoption evaluation process, a qualified couple may be approved in one area of the state but not in another. It's common for couples to apply together for adoption in states where it's accepted to avoid applying separately or only having one spouse apply for the adoption. With a joint adoption, both parties are held responsible in the adoption process and for the well-being of the child.

Second Parent Adoption

This type of adoption can get very confusing. Some states will allow one parent to file for the adoption and once they receive the child, the other parent can apply to become a second legal parent. Sometimes, one individual will decide that they want to adopt a baby as a single parent. Eventually, they may be in a committed relationship with someone and have them become the second legal parent of the child. Situations vary greatly, so this is another reason why you need an adoption attorney to help you.

Please do not worry about pursuing an unmarried couple adoption by yourself. You need the assistance of Radis Adoptions. Let us help you today! 1-800-813-9345.
