  • 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..

Why Birth Mothers Choose Adoption

Birth Mother Who Chose AdoptionYou are not alone. Many women have stood where you stand right now, reading these words, and looking for answers. Choosing adoption may seem terrifying. You may wonder, “What will my child think of me?”, “Will my child be loved as much with an adoptive family?”, “Will I be able to come to terms with placing my child for adoption?”. You may not know what you want to do. You have the option to raise your child, place them for adoption, or you may even be considering abortion.

Considering the many options available to you can be overwhelming. You may wonder if you are doing the right thing. This is a difficult decision and while your family, your adoption attorney, or adoption agency can help you, only you can know if it is right for you.

Many women choose adoption because they feel they are not emotionally prepared to raise a child. Abortion may be an unacceptable option for you, yet you are not ready to raise a child. For some, financial concerns are the problem. Many women are faced with raising a child on their own. Some simply feel they are not ready to be parents. Others want to provide a new family for those unable to have children. For whatever reason, they all feel that the best life for their child will be provided through adoption.

Many of these reasons lead to birth mothers choosing to place their child with an adoptive family. It is a difficult decision and yours alone. Adoptions are no longer an event in which you will never hear about your child again – semi-open adoptions and open adoptions will allow contact with the adoptive family to the degree that you choose.

How can I know it will be ok?

There are many safeguards ensuring that your child finds the way to their best family life. If you look at information about home studies, you will find that adoptive families are researched, interviewed, and thoroughly studied in order to be certain that they are the appropriate choice for this new life.

Remember, our office is here to help give your child the best start in life. If this is the right choice for you, we want to help.
