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..

Choosing an Adoption Attorney

1. How soon do I want to adopt?
The entire adoption process will typically take around 1-2 years to complete. This is something you and your spouse need to keep in mind when thinking about when you want your new bundle of joy in your home.

2. Would you be able to work with this person as your adoption attorney for over a year?
You need to ask yourself whether or not you will be able to work with the adoption attorney on a weekly basis for 1-2 years. It should be someone you feel comfortable working with, as well as someone you trust.

3. How many other clients does the adoption attorney have?
You should make sure that the adoption attorney you choose will be able to answer any questions you have and address any emergencies that you have during the adoption process. If they have too many clients already, this may not be possible for them.

4. Does the attorney specialize in adoption law?
You should choose an adoption attorney who has many years of experience working with adoption law. It shouldn't just be an attorney who will take any case that comes to them.

5. How much does the adoption attorney charge for their services?
Even though you know you want to adopt, you need to consider whether or not it's financially feasible for you and your spouse to pay for an adoption attorney throughout the adoption process in addition to the other costs of adoption.

6. How can the adoption attorney help you?
An adoption attorney can help to make sure that the adoption agency you choose is working within their legal jurisdiction for the area. The attorney will also make sure that all necessary documents are completed and submitted on time.

7. Does the adoption attorney have connections with adoption agencies?
You should choose an adoption attorney that has connections with adoption agencies so that you all can work together throughout the adoption process.
