  • 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..

Adoption Outreach Programs

There are many ways to conduct adoption outreach. The most important thing for you to understand is that there must be some adoption outreach.  This can be a part of the adoption process that families don't understand. Individuals frequently retain adoption specialists assuming that outreach will be taken care of; many agencies and attorneys offer extensive outreach programs but many don't. Ask how long they have been providing adoption services, if outreach is provided and whether the professional has an effective outreach history.  If, however, they don't do outreach in-house, your alternative is to do your own advertising and networking.

You can do your own advertising to let as many people know as possible that you really want to adopt a child.  However, you are going to improve your chances of finding a child, and in a shorter period, if you work with an adoption professional with a successful outreach program. When it is time for you to begin looking for the adoption professional who will help you find your baby, you will want to understand the importance of their adoption outreach program.

As you begin the process, it may seem that all adoption professionals are comparable - but this is simply not the case. Probably the most significant thing you should find out before choosing which adoption professional to work with is the kind of outreach program the professional makes use of. Particularly, does the professional have a nationwide adoption outreach program or is it only regional?

For almost all individuals seeking to adopt, the goal is to adopt as quickly as possible. In the United States, there are a limited number of women who place their children for adoption each year. If you desire to have your child in your arms at the earliest opportunity, it's important that you  have access to as many birth mothers seeking to place their child for adoption as possible to improve your chances of finding your little one.
