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..

Support Groups for Adopted Individuals

A birth mother who chooses to give her baby up for adoption is being completely selfless and will have a life that is forever changed by her decision. Adoptive parents are making a decision to adopt a child and will also live lives that are forever changed. Sometimes, while thinking about the life changes of birth parents and adoptive parents, we can forget about the lives of the children involved. How will they be affected by the adoption process? How well will they take the news that they are adopted? Will they feel a lack of identity when they become adults?

These questions and many others could be asked when a child is adopted. Individuals who are adopted as babies may not find out that they're adopted until they are teenagers or adults. Adopted individuals who find out the story of their adopted life can experience an identity crisis as a result. They may become depressed, develop low self esteem, have marital issues, or become very distant from their adoptive mother and father.

Oftentimes, adults who were adopted as children will attempt to find their actual birth mother and father, a sibling, or even a distant relative as a coping mechanism. However, when attempting to find these individuals doesn't go as planned, it can lead to even more feelings of depression and sadness. To contend with these feelings, it's recommended that individuals of all ages who may be experiencing problems with their identity attend adoption support groups or seek counseling.

It's been proven that adopted individuals who are able to talk through their feelings with others with similar experiences tend to learn better coping mechanisms than those who don't attend adoption support groups. Knowing that you aren't alone in the world and that others are feeling the same feelings as you can be very comforting. Adoption support groups can help with feelings of abandonment as well as with relationships with an individual's adoptive family.
