Adoption law is complex and nuanced, and the role of an attorney in the adoption process is vital in helping to navigate the legal complexities of adoption.


In this episode of the Modern Adoption Podcast, Erin & Jess are joined by Diana Schimmel, a Partner with Martine, Katz, Scanlon and Schimmel, a boutique family law firm in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. At MKSS, Diana specializes in adoption and family formation law.


In this episode we discuss:


  • Unethical practices in adoption and adoption friendly states;
  • ICPC process;
  • Post-Adoption Contact Agreements - from deciding what you're open to, how that affects your journey, and enforceability;
  • How an Adoption Attorney can support you throughout the adoption process.
