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..

Issues For Potential Adoptive Parents

Adoptive Parents and Child Individuals wanting to adopt a child may have heard many myths and misconceptions about what the adoption process is like or what life may be like after they have their new family member in their home. The most common issues that potential adoptive parents face are myths regarding legal issues, single or married issues, and open adoption issues.

Beginning with legal issues, many individuals think that they can handle the adoption process on their own and they aren't in need of legal representation. You should hire an adoption attorney to help you throughout the entire process. They will inform you and provide you with advice on all matters regarding your rights as the adoptive parents. They will also assist you with all legal documents that you must fill out before you can take your new family member home. It's very important that you hire an expert involved with the legal side of adoption. You won't regret it.

Many people think that they have to be married before an adoption agency will even consider them to be potential candidates. This isn't true. In recent years, the number of single parent adoptions has grown significantly. Adoption agencies want to make sure that you are financially stable to care for a child's needs. If you are, whether you're single or married, you will probably be considered a good candidate for adoption.

A lot of adoptive parents think that an open adoption will give a lot of parental rights to the birth mother. This is also not true. There are many regulations and guidelines that should be discussed, understood, and set in place before the child is ever taken home to his or her new family. An open adoption should consist of a mutual understanding between the adoptive parents and the birth mother that this is no longer her child and she can't see him or her whenever they please. Certainly, visiting times and communication can take place, but you aren't required to let the birth mother into your home whenever she wants to see her baby.
