November is National Adoption Month and prospective adoptive parents are urged to get in touch with a skilled San Francisco family attorney to discuss the adoption process. While the ordeal may seem complex, it is entirely rewarding in the end and there is no time to start working on the process than the present.
There are over 130,000 children in America in desperate need of a permanent loving home. Why not let your home be the one they have been waiting for all this time? The theme of this year’s adoption month is “You Don’t Have To Be Perfect to Be A Parent,” so even if you worry you’re not quite in the ideal position to have a child, consider your readiness at this stage anyway.

A proposed federal bill could restrict federal funding from states that ban gay or lesbian couples from adopting or fostering children. The proposed bill is known as the ’Every Child Deserves a Family Act,’ and it was introduced into congress on October 15, by Democratic representative Pete Stark of California (shown at left). The bill would penalize states that still maintain outdated adoption policies restricting adoption and foster care based on marital status, gender identity or sexual orientation.
