I just saw one of the best movies that deals with adoption issues I've seen in many years. It deals with the sense of loss the birth parents feel. The joy that the adoptive parents feel. The loss and sense of not being connected to the adoptive family the child feels. Ultimately leading to a reunion and full acceptance by the adult adoptee of the reasons for the placement.

I recommend " Man of Steel" for a number of reasons. It is a fun ride. It's not Superman that I remember as a boy and young adult, but is...
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.

The Indian Child Welfare Act is a Federal Law. It...

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..

Adopting a Baby

Adopted Baby Many couples dream of getting married and starting a family of their own. Unfortunately, however, for some this dream just doesn’t come true. The couples may be unable to have a baby due to infertility or incompatible blood types. This can ultimately lead to both individuals in the relationship feeling sad and depressed. There are options to pursue, though, if this is a situation that relates to you.

Adoption agencies can help to match you with a baby that needs your love, caring and support. You and your spouse will be responsible for this new bundle of joy and will be able to raise him or her and be with them through every achievement and milestone in their life. You and your spouse may feel ready to be parents to a baby, but are you actually ready?

Some couples become enamored with the fact that they are going to finally get to hold, feed, play with and care for a baby. There is a lot that you must consider though before the baby is ever in your arms! You need to decide if you want to have an open adoption or not. An open adoption will give you the opportunity to stay in touch with the birth parents of your baby; Including them in your child's life can be beneficial to them in the long run. However, this is a personal decision that must be decided between you and your spouse.

You also need to consider how much it's going to cost to have a baby in your home. You'll need to make a nursery for him or her and fill it with everything that they will need. This isn't a one time expense. You'll need to plan for the rest of your child's life. Do you want to set up a college fund for them? A savings account? It is obviously very expensive to have a child, especially a baby. You and your spouse need to determine what kind of budget you need to stick to.

Once you have figured out all of the details, it's time to spend time with your new family member and give them all of the love and support that they deserve in life!
