L'AAAA annonce la décision de la cour de district américaine du cinquième circuit déclarant inconstitutionnelle la loi sur la protection des enfants indiens

Le 4 octobre 2018, dans l'affaire BRACKEEN v. ZINKE, dans le district nord du Texas, action civile n° 4:17-cv-00868-O, un juge fédéral a invalidé la loi sur la protection des enfants indiens (ICWA). L'affaire a été portée par les États du Texas, de l'Indiana et de la Louisiane, ainsi que par des plaignants individuels, notamment des parents adoptifs clients de deux avocats membres de l'Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA). Le tribunal a annulé la quasi-totalité de l'ICWA et de ses nouveaux règlements de 2016 pour de multiples raisons, notamment en vertu de la clause de protection égale (au motif que les préférences en matière de placement et certaines autres dispositions de l'ICWA sont anticonstitutionnellement fondées sur la race), de la "clause de non-délégation" (selon laquelle le paragraphe 1915(c) délègue de manière anticonstitutionnelle des pouvoirs fédéraux aux tribus), de la clause anti-commandite (au motif que l'ICWA réquisitionne de manière anticonstitutionnelle les États pour exécuter des tâches fédérales) et de la loi sur la procédure administrative (au motif que les nouveaux règlements ont été promulgués sans autorisation).

L'AAAA participe depuis longtemps aux efforts visant à clarifier le fait que l'Indian Child Welfare Act - une loi adoptée par le Congrès en 1978 dans le but louable de renforcer les familles indiennes - ne doit jamais être appliquée d'une manière qui porte atteinte aux meilleurs intérêts des enfants. L'AAAA soutient les efforts juridiques visant à garantir aux enfants indiens le droit à une protection égale devant la loi.

L'AAAA lance de nouvelles ressources pour la construction familiale

The Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA) announced today that it launched a refreshed brand identity including new, single online presence during its 2018 Annual Conference, “Forging New Directions in Family Formation”, held in Kansas City, Missouri. This is a significant next step in the Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys’ evolution and the unification of two organizations, The American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (AAAA) and The American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys (AAARTA). The new name represents one Academy of attorneys guiding, advocating, and protecting all parties in adoption and assisted reproduction matters.

Retaining the acronym “AAAA”, the Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys provides a credentialed presence in the law of family formation and is the largest professional organization of its type dedicated to advancing the security of children through permanent adoption, the protection of children through safe and secure foster care with appropriate permanency planning, and the recognition of intended parents as legal parents for those using modern medical technology to build families through assisted reproductive technology.

AAAA includes 470 attorneys, law professors and judges who are recognized as Fellows and practice adoption law, assisted reproductive technology (ART) law or both. Located around the globe – including the United States, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Israel and the United Kingdom – Fellows of AAAA are considered legal thought leaders and are a highly-vetted, experienced group. AAAA Fellows use best legal practices and have helped thousands of clients through their family building journey. Admission to AAAA is a selective process that requires no less than five years of legal practice, at least 50 adoption or assisted reproductive technology proceedings, a referral for admission by a current AAAA member, and rigorous review for high ethical standards and competency by the board of directors.

Embarking on this latest chapter, AAAA created a new logo and a single domain and website adoptionART.org to reflect and support its mission throughout the United States and abroad. In addition to offering an easy-to-use and comprehensive Find an Attorney Directory, the website will feature expanded content designed to help guide families, donors, surrogates, birth and adoptive parents in adoption and assisted reproduction law while serving as a resource for Adoption, ART and partnering professionals.

“When unifying under one organization, our continued goal was to ensure the protection and security of children through equality in adoption, foster care, and assisted reproductive technology while providing guidance and access to both adoption and assisted reproductive legal resources,” said Eric Stovall, Esq., President of AAAA. “Now with our new, just launched identity and single online presence via adoptionART.org, we are able to provide an even more user-friendly and accessible experience to streamline the family building process so all options are available to families from the start.”

AAAA IAC Avocats bénévoles ou à honoraires réduits

The American Academy of Adoption Attorneys recently learned of the bankruptcy filing by the Independent Adoption Center (IAC) which is licensed in California, Florida, New York, Indiana, Connecticut, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. The announced permanent closing of all IAC offices and its programs nationwide has left many families in dire straits. Some may be in the middle of an adoption and are now left without supervision of the placement in order to complete and finalize the adoption, while others have paid substantial sums of money to participate in the IAC adoption program, which money will now likely be lost. This is a situation which should never happen.

The Fellows of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys have pledged to assist those families that now find themselves in this untenable situation. The Academy will assist these families in order for them to obtain their files from IAC, or to have them transferred to other reputable licensed adoption agencies. The Academy will also assist in advising those families as to be best way to proceed with regard to their prospective adoptions. In most instances, there will be no charge, or a reduced charge, for these services. See list here:  Academy IAC Volunteer or Reduce-Fee Attorneys.  Alternatively, I, Colleen Quinn, Academy President, can be contacted at president@adoptionART.org to provide referral to a volunteer attorney. We are very saddened by this situation and will endeavor to provide as much support as possible.

The IAC Bankruptcy case was filed on 2/3/17 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California and assigned case no. 17-10427. The 1st meeting of creditors is scheduled for 3/14 in Oakland. Click here for a copy of  IAC Bankruptcy Petition and the  IAC Bankruptcy Petition Supplement.
