Book excerpt: Adoption is a process that can require both time and patience. In handling an adoption case, the lawyer guides the client through the various types of adoptions, identifying and determining the applicable laws to ensure the family can legally finalize the adoption in that jurisdiction. This updated deskbook details the complexities of U.S. domestic adoption law, policy, and practice, and considers issues involved with international adoptions. Written by Jennifer Fairfax, an experienced family lawyer whose practice is focused entirely on adoption and reproduction law, this book provides the fundamentals of the adoption process and guidance on practical issues on each step in the process, including over 200 pages of forms and appendices available online for download. The book covers the primary types of adoption: domestic private/independent adoptions, domestic agency adoptions, and international adoptions. Spanning the full range of legal issues impacting each type of adoption, including Hague, ICPC, ICWA, special needs adoptions and how to get the client from intake to finalization, the book also covers home study, adoption cost and financing, open adoption records, and disruption, among other topics.

This book was released on 2005-12-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoption and foster care is a new and burgeoning area of historical and interdisciplinary research. Too often, however, birth parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, social workers, and the children themselves have either been ignored or demonized. This comprehensive introductory resource provides an authoritative, yet accessible, examination of adoption and foster care as it has been practiced in the United States. Within the pages of this volume, the reader will find a complete view of the many individuals and groups involved, as well as a thorough understanding of the various social and economic forces that have contributed to the perceptions of what children are in need of care. Also discussed is the role of orphanages, once the primary institution for children without parents as well as a stopgap measure for poor children needing temporary care. Divided into three major sections, original essays review the practice of adoption, orphanage placement and foster care from the colonial period to the present day. Selected primary documents, including materials by children, as well as an in-depth bibliographic section, provide crucial information and insight for high school and college students. Social workers, journalists, and others will also find much value in this historical overview and guide. Contributors include Elizabeth Bartholet, Marilyn Irvin Holt, Martha Satz, and Claudia Nelson.
