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..

The Most Common Adoption Mistake Couples Make

There are lots of fantastic adoption professionals and agencies who work hard to guide families to successfully adopt a newborn or older child. There are also many, on the other hand, that don't provide you with the "full picture" of their services.

Many adoption agencies and professionals do not devote much time to marketing to birth mothers. Basically, they are there to assist adopting parents who have already located a birth mother or choose to locate a birth mother without the assistance of an adoption professional. This isn't a problem so long as it's clearly explained to prospective clients. With that knowledge, adoptive parents are capable of making informed choices. They are able to retain the services of an adoption professional who provides outreach services, they are able to continue to work with the professional but to conduct their own personal search for a birth mother if they choose, or they are able to hire a professional whose main purpose is to help find a birth mother.

Your adoption plan should designate the ethnicity, age, etc. of the child you want to adopt, what type of risks you're willing to take, the amount of openness you are comfortable with between your family and the birth mother, among things to consider. Make your adoption plan before choosing an adoption professional to work alongside so that you can determine whether or not the agency or professional is willing to work within your plan and support you in finding an appropriate match.

You need to become an informed consumer of all the adoption options that are available to you before retaining the services of an adoption professional. That's the reason it's essential for you to seek out knowledge and define your goals before you invest financially. It is necessary that you simply find an adoption professional who knows your personal adoption ambitions and is not only supportive of them, but will help you adopt a child within a reasonable time frame.
