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..

Paying For an Adoption

Couples wanting to add a child to their family shouldn't consider the cost of adoption to be the one thing that's holding them back from contacting an adoption agency. The adoption process can be rather expensive for couples wanting a new baby, however there are ways to help lessen the monetary burdens placed on families in this situation.

First of all, you should work with the adoption agency to determine the standard costs of the adoption process. Then, you should work out a payment plan to help with some of the costs so you don't have to pay for everything at once. At this time, it would also be a good idea for you and your spouse to work out a budget to help determine what extraneous expenses you are able to drop to help pay for your new addition. Adoption agencies will want to see that you are putting a lot of time and thought into how to pay for your new baby.

Once you are better aware of how much you spend each week, month, and year, you will be better able to tell just how much money you are going to need to pay for the adoption process and to pay for an addition to your family. Maybe your family would like to help pitch in and add to your funds. Perhaps you may start a community fund or a fund at your church to help pay for some of the expenses. People are generally more than willing to help you with situations such as these!

You can also go more traditional routes with getting some extra money by getting loans or learning about specific tax benefits that you and your spouse may be available for with a new adopted child. You may also be able to receive grants from the government to help pay for the adoption fees. Please contact us for more information.
