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..

Beginning the Process of Adoption

Parents With Adopted Children Thousands of people are choosing adoption as a way of becoming mothers and fathers. Quite often the medical procedures used to assist in becoming pregnant seemed extremely invasive to those who tried them. No matter their motives, the choice to adopt ranks as one of the most life-altering choices in your life. Adoption may not be your first choice, but it is not second best.

The first issue you need to think about is the legal aspect of adoption. To avoid problems, it is important that you are familiar with local laws and regulations as well as the Hague Treat on international adoptions. You should decide as early as possible whether you prefer a local (domestic) adoption, which involves a child born in the United States, or if you prefer, an international adoption. If you choose the latter of the two, the laws regulating immigration to and from the U.S. will have a strong influence on the process.

There are many agencies, both public and private, should you decide to ask for their assistance and expertise during the development of the adoption. With international adoptions, you may want to think about seeking the aid of an agency that will be well versed in the legal elements affecting the planned adoption.

The majority of adoptive mothers and fathers start the process expecting to adopt a newborn but later realize an older child is more to their liking. The age you prefer is a deciding factor. If you decide on an older child, you will need to respect his or her emotions and individuality. Give them time to adjust without further damaging their feelings of self-worth. Remember that a number of these children, especially the older ones, may have come from houses or situations that were harmful to their health and well-being. It may cause them to feel scared, distant, or upset in the beginning. They may have difficulty bonding with the adoptive family. Counseling is a good idea in these situations.
