IRA BILOFSKY, LCSW

Building Stronger Families
A new Division of my services. I am an Adoption Service provider. I work with Birth Mother's and Father's to ensure that they have the best experience possible after deciding to place their unborn children up for adoption.
I have been providing this service for the past 15 years. I function as a liaison between the birth parents and a law firm in California called AdoptHelp, Inc.
I have an extensive knowledge of the laws here in Pennsylvania and the laws in California. I work exclusively on independent adoptions. I do not work on adoptions under PA law but on Adoptions that return to California for completion.
I can provide a home study for individuals looking to adopt.

Laws, Rules and Qualifications for Adopting a Child in Pennsylvania
Each state has different laws regarding who can adopt and how they can adopt. The following guidelines provide important information about the adoption process, laws and qualifications for prospective adoptive parents in Pennsylvania.
Any individual may be eligible to adopt in Pennsylvania. See “Home Study and Post-Placement Requirements in Pennsylvania” for more information about the home study, criminal background checks and training required for adoptive parents.
Every state regulates the expenses that can be paid by adoptive parents during the adoption process. In Pennsylvania, adoptive parents are permitted to pay the following:
It is unlawful in Pennsylvania to trade, barter, buy, sell or deal in infant children. The intermediary must file a written report with the court that includes an itemized accounting of all monies paid, agreed to be paid, or received in connection with the adoption. The court may provide appropriate relief when it finds the expenses reported to be excessive.
Foster parents in Pennsylvania must be at least 21 years of age and complete a licensing process, which includes:
What are the requirements to finalize an international adoption in Pennsylvania?
The adoption will be considered full and final only if both adopting parents (or the sole parent if only one person is adopting) were present for the adoption hearing in the foreign country, the foreign court entered a final adoption decree and the child’s visa affords him or her full U.S. citizenship. A foreign registration form should be submitted with the other necessary documents to the clerk of the court. Once the court has reviewed the documents and determined that the foreign adoption is full and final, the state will issue an adoption decree. The clerk will issue a certificate of adoption to the parent. Parents won’t be required to attend a hearing or obtain counsel. In cases where the child must be readopted to finalize the adoption, the court will provide the adopting parents with a standard petition, court order and instructions for their use.
