When parents cannot agree on custody of a child, the trial judge (or in Texas, a jury may make this decision) must determine with which parent the child will live. This gut-wrenching decision must be based, above all, on the best interest of the child. Courts Split on First Amendment Rights in Post 911 Deportation Hearings. On August 26, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit struck down a policy restricting the public’s right to attend deportation hearings involving national security. Less than two months later, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld the same policy. Will the United States Supreme Court ultimately decide the constitutional issues?

Site Owner: Joe Mazzafro Adoption World, Inc. Mazzafro Adoption Associates Adoption World, Inc. Mazzafro Adoption Associates To post a prayer for our Country click on the Eagle AWI cover story in Time Magazing 1989. As featured in Who's Who in America 2001 We believe that all children are adoptable. Although there are still guidelines agencies follow to evaluate a prospective family's (or person's) eligibility to adopt, many of the traditional requirements associated with adoption such as minimum salary standards (which were set high), home ownership, marital status, physical handicaps, sexual preference, (to name a few ) no longer apply. It is our belief that what constitutes a family is a stable home environment, lots of room in your heart, the desire to share in the joy a child can bring into your life, and an open mind to learn the skills necessary to nurture the adopted child. The goal should be twofold: To meet the child's needs and best interests, along with a strong commitment to work with the wishes, desires and rights of the prospective families. To this end this should include a process of education and exploration of issues inherent in the adoption process.

Casey Family Services: For Youth 2002 Sep 08 "Victoria Rowell is also national spokesperson for Casey Family Services. She has embraced this task with the enthusiasm that is her signature. Between March and May last year she was on four national TV shows talking about Casey Family Services and the need for more people to get involved in foster care. She also narrated a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for radio and television and arranged for our PSA to be aired in movie theatres around the country. The PSA has aired throughout New England and soon will be shown nationally on CBS network television." 2000 May 30 "We are a Christian, non-profit, licensed child placing agency. We specialize in placing African-American, Hispanic and biracial children in adoption. In Texas, there are thousands of children waiting for permanent homes. These children have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Over 60% of these children are children of color, with the highest percentage being African American and are typically between the ages of 4-14. Most are brothers and sisters needing to be placed together." Pact: An Adoption Alliance 1999 Jun 23 "... Pact's founders and small staff have dedicated themselves to the mission of providing the highest quality adoption-related services to children of color, their birth parents and their adoptive parents."

Introduction Vision Activity Contact us ... Shopping Introduction Organization NGO Adoption Issues Volunteer Sponsor Guide Korean Mission to Promote Adoption in Korea by Stephen C. Morrison Introduction I am extremely happy to stand before you to speak about the Mission to Promote Adoption in Korea (MPAK). I am especially grateful to Ami Naftzger and the G.O.A.L. organization for inviting me to participate in this great conference for Korean adoptees and Koreans. We have all gathered here for various reasons. Many of you have come to find your roots through birth-parent search, or perhaps to learn about your Korean heritage through this conference. And many of you are here to show support for what G.O.A.L. represents. I am grateful that there is an organization like G.O.A.L. that represents thousands of Korean adoptees who make pilgrimage to Korea to visit their motherland. I am proud that you have come together to show your solidarity to be one voice for many adoptees who often have no place to turn for help while in Korea. You are a link between the adoptees of today and their roots of yesterday. A Voice for Homeless Children However I come today to be a voice for another group of people. They are the homeless children of Korea. Many of us in this room, including myself, were once like those children. It is for them I have come today to speak about. It is for them that I established MPAK to promote domestic adoption in Korea as well as promoting Korean-American families to adopt. MPAK's main goals are:

What does open adoption mean? What are the benefits of open adoption? ... Where can I get additional information? Who can adopt in Saskatchewan? You must be a Saskatchewan resident, unless the court has waived residency requirements. Married adults jointly; an unmarried adult; or any other person or persons that the court may allow, having regard to the best interests of the child, may make application to the court for an order of adoption. What adoption programs does Saskatchewan Social Services Offer? Domestic Adoption Domestic adoption refers to the adoption of a child who is permanently in the care of the Minister of Saskatchewan Social Services. Birth parents may complete a voluntary committal shortly after the birth of their child or children may be apprehended and made permanent wards by the court. These children may be infants, or older children and include those who may have special needs including physical health issues or intellectual impairment. Children who are permanently committed to the care of the Minister of Social Services may be adopted if they are legally free for adoption and adoption is considered the best lifeplan for them. These children are matched with potential adoptive parents who have had a homestudy report completed. Processing the adoption through court is done by Social Services.
