  • 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..

Chris & Joanne
Pittsburgh, Pa.

We are Chris and Joanne and have been happily married for 9 years.   We have 6 year old son named Nicholas.  We would love to add to our family through adoption.  We have great respect and admiration for you as you plan for your baby’s future.  Placing your baby for adoption is a loving, caring and selfless decision.  We are thrilled that you are taking a moment to review our profile.

We live in a northern suburb of Pittsburgh, PA.  We have a brick four bedroom home with a spacious backyard that has a swing set for play.  The school system that we reside in is ranked one of top public school districts in Pennsylvania.  Chris is a director at a pharmaceutical company and Joanne is a stay at home Mom.  Prior to this, Chris was a High School Economics / Government teacher and Joanne was a hairstylist.

We both enjoy working out and living a healthy life style.  This is important to us not only for our own health, but to provide a positive example to our child.  We enjoy traveling (especially Disney World J), reading, watching movies and going out to dinner with family and friends.  We value the importance of family and education.

Our physical description is fairly average.  Chris is 6 feet tall with brown eyes and black / grey hair and is 39 years old.  Joanne is 5 foot 3 with green eyes and blonde hair and is 42 years old, although she looks much younger than Chris J.  We are both Christian and come from traditional religious / spiritual families which placed importance of values such as honesty, decency and morality.

Chris about Joanne.  Joanne is a tremendously strong and spirited woman.  Her life revolves around our son and she is an amazing mother and wife.  She enjoys a very active routine and is our rock of the house.  Joanne enjoys staying active and healthy along with planning Nicholas’ social calendar.  And she is also a great cook!

Joanne about Chris.  Chris is a very enthusiastic and happy person.  Chris has a lot of energy as a husband and father.  He coaches Nicholas’ soccer teams throughout the year which was always his dream.  He is my best friend and makes me want to be a better person every day.

In summary, we will offer a child the best possible care and unconditional love.  Our child will be raised in a happy, healthy, loving environment that will provide his / her with a secure foundation for the future.  We will wish the best to you as you make some important decisions for yourself and your baby.

 

With Best Wishes,

Chris and Joanne
