Radis Adoptions - Adoption Pregnancy Center

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..

Adoption for Your Baby

Many individuals who are already parents of children may be reading this thinking that they could never give their child up. However, it's very important to consider all situations. Some women who become pregnant understand that adoption is the best option for both themselves and their baby. A birth mother often wants to give her baby a life full of the things that the child needs and wants.

Some women have an unplanned pregnancy when they are very young and it's too difficult for them to juggle raising a baby along with going to high school. Perhaps they wouldn't have anyone who would care for the baby during the day. Maybe they don't have the funds to take care of a baby. It's possible their family isn't supportive of the pregnancy. Perhaps the father of the unborn child decides that he doesn't want anything to do with the baby. Sadly, these are all real issues that some pregnant teenagers have to think about. If they realize that it just isn't feasible for them to raise a child, the most unselfish decision they could make would be to seek help from an adoption agency or adoption attorney.

Some women who become pregnant have personal issues that they are trying to work through on their own. Maybe they have a drug or alcohol abuse problem. Understandably, during the pregnancy ladies with such addictions need to be monitored by their doctor quite often to make sure that the baby isn't facing any complications. All drug usage needs to stop. It's very difficult to overcome an addiction, however, and it may be easier for these particular women to do so if they aren't also trying to raise a baby. Seeking help from an adoption center is a great idea in situations such as these.

Some women who become pregnant may be in an abusive situation. Perhaps their partner treats them badly and they are scared to raise a baby in a situation like that. If the child is raised by the birth mother, the birth father will, of course, always be the father. He will be granted rights to see his child just as any father would be. Some pregnant women would rather not put their child through anything like this, so adoption is a great option for them.
