identified adoption

Read a random definition: rigging the market

A quick definition of identified adoption:

Identified adoption is when a birth parent chooses a specific family to adopt their child, instead of going through an adoption agency. This is also called private adoption. Adoption is when a child becomes part of a new family through a legal process. The new parents have all the same rights and responsibilities as if the child was born to them. Adoption is different from fostering, which is when a child lives with a family temporarily. Adoption is a special way to make a family bigger and full of love.

A more thorough explanation:

Identified adoption is a type of private adoption where the birth parents choose the adoptive parents for their child. It falls under the broader category of adoption, which is the legal process of creating a parent-child relationship between two parties who are not biologically related.

Adoption is usually granted after a determination that the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or the parents' parental rights have been terminated by court order. The adoptive parents assume all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of a biological parent.

For example, if a birth mother chooses a couple to adopt her child, that would be an identified adoption. The birth mother and adoptive parents may have a pre-existing relationship or may have found each other through an adoption agency.

It's important to note that adoption is different from legitimation, which refers to the act of establishing a legal relationship between a parent and a child who is already biologically related. Adoption is also different from fostering, which is a temporary arrangement where a child is placed in the care of a foster family.

Overall, identified adoption is a way for birth parents to have more control over the adoption process and choose the family they want to raise their child.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14
babycat
15:45
@info-man: agreed
babycat
15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve
