I just saw one of the best movies that deals with adoption issues I've seen in many years. It deals with the sense of loss the birth parents feel. The joy that the adoptive parents feel. The loss and sense of not being connected to the adoptive family the child feels. Ultimately leading to a reunion and full acceptance by the adult adoptee of the reasons for the placement.

I recommend " Man of Steel" for a number of reasons. It is a fun ride. It's not Superman that I remember as a boy and young adult, but is...
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..

The Ups and Downs of the Adoption Process

Adopting a child is undoubtedly one of the most fantastic things that you might do. Not only are you providing a home and the chance of a life to a new human being, you are probably filling a gap in your life too. Adopting an infant might be a fantastic step for both the baby and your family.

Adopting a baby, however, is really a significant decision. Since the process of adoption can take a few years before it is finished, it may be a really frustrating experience. Prospective mothers and fathers are put under greater scrutiny as compared to biological parents. The volume of paperwork necessary is staggering. There are lengthy and often embarrassing probes into your life and home to evaluate your potential capacity as a parent. Accelerating the adoption process may be simple if you're prepared and keep an open mind

It’s also wise to note that adopting a child can be quite an expensive process and many potential adoptive parents are scared away by the monetary load which they can't afford to deal with. However, there are a few ways to make adopting a little more economical, such as federal adoption tax credits and/or company employee benefits.

Adoptive parents are of course those who really value the benefits of having an additional member in their household. After months of waiting around and spending 100's of dollars on legal fees and all of the costs associated with adoption, they finally satisfy their dream of bringing a baby into their lives.

Even though adopting a child can be quite a long and demanding quest, the moment all the paperwork and scrutiny is finished, the adoption can be completed. When an adoption is finalized, the adoptive parents are legally mothers and fathers in each and every sense of the phrase.
