California Adoption Law and Procedure explains the law governing
contested adoptions. It covers the four types of adoptions
(independent, agency, stepparent and intercountry), and briefly
discusses those aspects of guardianship and juvenile dependency law
which relate to adoptions. This book explores the "best interests
of the child" and the home study process. It also seeks to explain
"consent," whose consent must be obtained, and whether consent may
be revoked. The book further describes the roles of attorneys,
adoption service providers, adoption facilitators, adoption
agencies and governmental agencies. It seeks to clarify the rights
of the adoptive parents, the child, and of third parties, whether
or not a Postadoption Contact Agreement is in place. This text
discusses interstate conflicts and how laws such as the Uniform
Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act operate. It also
covers the new federal statutes and regulations which implement the
Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption. Prof. Everett L.
Skillman is a member of the adjunct faculty at the University of
San Diego School of Law. He and his wife Shelley were foster
parents for three years and adoptive parents for 12 years after
that. At seminars conducted by social services agencies and private
agencies, Prof. Skillman had the good fortune of meeting many
wonderful, committed fellow foster parents, and learning how they
overcame a wide variety of challenges. Prof. Skillman has been
licensed to practice law since 1990; he has taught several courses
on Adoption Law; he has helped many others complete their
adoptions; and he has been certified since 2000 by the California
State Bar as a specialist in appellate law.
