On June 8, 2015, the legal representative for the NCP contacted the office and requested that the office check into the adoption. At that time, the legal representative was told about the office contact with the CP and her statement. The representative stated they requested that both, the NPC and the legal representative provide a copy of the adoption order. The agency has yet to receive the adoption order. On September 29, 2015, the CP faxed the office a copy of a letter from her attorney, the Firm of Howell, Sarto & Howell, which was sent to the NCP on January 14, 1997, care of Ms. Susan McKitchen. In the letter, they asked that the NPC sign the consent to adoption. The CP also provided a letter dated February 23, 1997, a little over a month after the adoption letter from the attorney Julien Taylor, who had been retained by the NCP to discuss the possibility of obtaining visitation. The attorney also provided a letter from the Commonwealth of Virginia, where the CP had attempted to have the child’s name changed. The Commonwealth declined to do that on the birth certificate. As a copy of the court order, the CP submitted to have the child’s name change was insufficient. The CP provided a copy of what she called the order changing the child’s name. It was a petition to change the child’s name. The representative stated that to his knowledge, there is no document with a judge’s signature that changes the child’s name or ratify an adoption. The policies were followed with regards to the Affidavit of Past Due Support. If the parties can produce an adoption document, then that would change the balances, but at this point, the NCP says there was an adoption. The CP says there was not an adoption and the documents led me to believe that not only was there no adoption, the child’s name was not legally changed. The representative stated no further

The lawsuit transpired against Department of Human Services in Mississippi because the system deserted the children. In this case, a young girl named Olivia Y was abused by her mother and the foster home. While taking her out the home at the age of three, the system continually neglected her. Department of Family Children Service failed to present Olivia with adequate medical and health support. “This case is alleged that Mississippi’s foster care system was failing adequately to protect children in its custody and provide necessary services in violation of their federal constitutional rights (www.mdhs.state.ms/olivia-y-lawsuit/”).
However, I was somewhat surprised that Lee failed to explain in detail the goal of the lawsuit. I saw no explanation as to the purpose of the lawsuit as far as to change the system. The only reason I saw was from the city public advocate who feels like the system is structurally flawed. The article gave no explanation of the actual purpose of the lawsuit, only warns of potential problems that could arise from the lawsuit. (Caseworkers are pressured to close adoptions, and therefore don’t give biological families ample time to reconnect.)

My sister Katie feels like she “doesn’t belong” with my family. As kids, we used to play dress up with one another and Katie would always ask my mom to make her have blonde hair just as I did. My mom would then put a yellow towel on her head so that she could pretend she did. As a child I could not understand why Katie would want to do such a silly thing to try and look as I did. In my eyes we were both the same and nothing else mattered. As we got older, it became more apparent to me how different we really were. I am Caucasian and she is Native American. I have blonde hair and blue eyes while she has black hair and brown eyes. Not only did we look very different but our personalities differed as well. Katie was always much more fussy
In the last four decades, the concept of the American family has undergone a radical transformation, reflecting society¡¯s growing openness. Among all segments of society, there is a greater acceptance of a variety of family structures ¨C from single parenting to blended families to same sex parenting of children. The introduction of openness into the process of adoption offers new opportunities for children in need of a parent or parents and prospective parents wishing to create or expand their families. Meeting the requirements to become eligible to adopt no longer means being constrained by the conventions of an earlier generation.
