  • 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..

Announcing Your Unplanned Pregnancy

Unplanned pregnancy doesn’t necessarily mean unwanted pregnancy. This may not be the right time for you to begin your family. Perhaps you are a college student or you are single and working two jobs already just to get by. Whatever your situation may be, you have come to terms with the fact that you aren’t financially, physically, or emotionally ready to raise a baby.

Once you have decided to pursue adoption, whether it be an open adoption or a closed adoption, it would be a wise idea to announce your unplanned pregnancy. Your family cares about you. Radis understands that you may be worried about what they may think of you, what they may say, or how they may feel about the unborn child’s father. No matter how upset they may get, they still do genuinely care about you.

Keeping an unplanned pregnancy a secret can cause you to be burdened with even more stress than what you may experience with your daily life. More stress on you means more stress on the baby. Stress can actually harm your baby, so it’s important that you keep it at a minimum. One way of doing so is to announce your unplanned pregnancy.

You may want to take time to write down what you want to say. Practice what you’ll say as if you were practicing a speech. Come up with ways you can deal with the emotions you may feel if your family, friends, or any other individuals make negative comments about the pregnancy. Being prepared before you announce the news will help you to feel much more calm and confident.

You will also need to determine how you want to tell the people in your life that you’ve chosen adoption for your unborn child. It may be difficult for some of them to come to terms with the adoption, but they will come around. You’re giving another family the opportunity of having new life. It’s something you should feel very proud of yourself for.

Please contact Radis Adoptions for more information about your unplanned pregnancy and the steps to take in the adoption process.
