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..

Adopting an Older Child

Adoption has become more socially accepted and popular lately for couples who want to have a baby and are unable to have one themselves or maybe they've just always wanted to adopt. Research shows that most couples will try to adopt a child who is 2 years of age or younger. They believe that doing so will help the child to grow up and see them as their mother and father. The adoptive parents believe that it'll be much easier for the child to accept the fact that they are adopted.

Research also shows that once a child is over 2, their likelihood of being adopted decreases significantly. Once they reach the age of 5, it becomes even less likely that they'll be adopted, and by the time they turn 10, it's nearly impossible that they will be adopted by a family. A lot of couples looking to adopt think that adopting an older child will be too difficult for them to handle. They believe that the child may have experienced psychological trauma during their years at their care facility and that trying to raise them into adulthood would be too much of a task for them.

There are some couples, however, who believe that they need to provide their assistance where it's needed the most—for children over the age of 10 years. They believe that if they don't provide a stable environment with structure and love, then the child will have no hope of ever having a successful future as an emotionally healthy and happy adult.

Before adopting an older child, you and your spouse should talk with other members in your family to make sure there are no objections to what you're doing. The last thing you want to do is bring a child into your home who is not accepted by a family member. This type of situation would make it even more difficult for them to become comfortable in their new environment.
