Not All Adoption Experiences Are Wonderful
During this month of celebrating the wonders of adoptions I want to remind fellow attorneys and potential adoptive parents that like other wonderful endeavors adoption has a potentially nasty underbelly. This article describes the content of a new book, FINDING FERNANDA, concerning adoption and human trafficking; the worst of the worst as far a nasty underbellies are concerned.
I plead with attorneys and potential adoptive parents to be ever vigilant as we proceed with adoption to help stop the abuses described in this book and help ensure that all adoptions will be celebrated as a grand way to allow loving parents to bring deserving children into their home. May our efforts be so great that we never have to hear of such atrocities as are cited in this book again.
South Carolina Adoption Statutes Have Been Moved
The new location for the South Carolina Adoption Statutes can be found here. Please note that most of my old posts referencing statutes are linked to the old web location; when I click on the links in the old posts, they take me to a page with the following statement:
Error: Resource not found (404)
The web page or resource that you are requesting has been removed or is now located on a different page. Please refer to our home page for the information you want as links may have changed.
On the left of that page you will see a "South Carolina Law" tab; that tab will lead you to the complete list of South Carolina statutes. South Carolina Adoption law is under Title 63, Chapter 9. I will be working on the change over from the old link to the new one in my older post as time permits.
