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..

Avoiding Adoption Fraud

Happy Couple Choosing Adoption It may seem difficult to grasp the fact that there are individuals out there who attempt to exploit families wanting to go through adoption agencies by creating adoption scams. Sometimes individuals will create the fraud for money, popularity, to hurt someone intentionally, or any number of reasons. If you and your spouse are considering adoption for your family, then you too could easily be a target for adoption fraud.

Adoption scammers search through available profiles of couples wanting to adopt and they pick a few out to use their fraudulent ways on. They will try to get the family to come to them for their baby, saying that they can offer them their child for hardly any money at all. They attempt to give the impression that they just want to be good, decent people and give a couple the chance to be new parents. Unfortunately, some couples become enamored with the fact that they could be parents without having to contend with so much paperwork and costs. Then, once the money has been transferred, that’s the last they ever hear from the so-called birth parents.

Police and adoption agencies see this happening time and time again. Chances are, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Always work with a licensed agency when considering adoption for your family. If you are working with a licensed, professional adoption agency, you won’t run into issues like this. If you take your chances and try working and communicating with an unlicensed facility or just the birth parents, there’s a good chance you’re going to get scammed or ripped off.

Authorities say that if you are considering adoption and you have put your profile online for potential birth parents to see, you need to have some sort of tracking device on your site. Then, it is easier to track down any potential threats or scammers who try to get in touch with you.

There are also many web sites that you can check for information about current adoption scams that are happening in your area or around the country. There are many resources available to you for learning about adoption fraud. It’s important to keep yourself up-to-date with this information throughout your adoption process.
