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..

Adopted Baby's Nursery

The adoption process has finally come to an end and you are about to bring home your new baby. You may be excited, nervous, and in disbelief that the moment has finally arrived. Some people elect to get the baby's nursery ready before you bring the child home. They feel they can then make sure that everything is neat, tidy and in its place.

Guidelines for a new nursery:

1. Dust: It's incredibly important that you clean every crack and crevice of your baby's new room so that it's entirely free from any dust. Your baby doesn't want to be in a dusty room, coughing and sneezing, while trying to get acquainted with his or her new environment.
2. Air Ducts: Make sure that all of your air ducts are free from any dust as well.
3. Paint: Paint the nursery awhile before your adopted baby is brought home. Doing so will help eliminate any paint fumes from affecting your baby.
4. Glass Cleaning: Be sure to clean all windows in the adopted baby's nursery so that they're free from any cobwebs or dust. This would be a good time to also make sure that the window is properly insulated so that there won't be any drafts entering the nursery.
5. Safety: Remove any potentially hazardous items from the nursery that your baby may try to reach or grab at. It may seem unlikely that anything would ever happen, but there's always a possibility. Eliminate any risk.
6. Nursery Furniture: Be sure to have all of your adopted baby's nursery furniture installed prior to his or her arrival. Doing so will prevent a lot of hassle on the day your baby is brought home.
7. Flooring: Make sure that the floor in your baby's new nursery is clean and free of any dust or allergens that may be trapped in the fibers.

As an adoptive parent, you are very anxious about bringing your new baby home. Just make sure that you don't overlook any obvious cleaning or maintenance that will need to be done before your new bundle of joy arrives.
