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 Transracially

So, you and your spouse have decided to adopt a child and you've contacted an adoption agency that you're both comfortable with. Now, you need to decide about the child you want to bring into your family. Do you want a baby, a toddler, a young child or a teenager? You should also take time to consider whether or not you want to adopt outside of your own race.

Some parents choose to adopt a child that shares similarities in appearance to them. They believe that doing so will help a child better adapt to the adoption without possible judgment from others. There are other adoptive parents, however, who choose to adopt a child of a different race to create a multicultural family. Multicultural families are the same as any other family, but the parents may look different than the child. It can be a great learning experience for both the adoptive parents and the child.

If you and your spouse do choose to adopt a child of a different race, remember to take time to talk with the child about why they may look different than you. You need to stress that there's nothing wrong with looking the way they do and there's nothing wrong with looking the way that you do. You should also make attempts to incorporate their culture into your household.

It would be fun to celebrate various holidays that pertain to your child's ethnic background and it will give them memories that they'll remember and cherish for a lifetime. It's also a good idea to provide the child with toys that may look like them. If you adopt an African-American girl, perhaps, you could get her a few African-American dolls and stress to her that they share similarities in appearance to her and that they're beautiful.

Your child needs to be culturally aware of who they are and be accepting of it. Naturally, there will be people in their life who will judge them and who will judge you, but you need to explain to them that there's nothing wrong with how they look and to cast aside some people’s negative comments.
