REPRESENTING ADOPTIVE PARENTS

SALLY WILDMAN, JD, a member of the Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys, has represented adoptive parents for more than 15 years.  Currently, Ms. Wildman represents adoptive parents in all types of adoption, and she represents adult adoptees in birth family search.

During Spring and Fall seasons, Ms. Wildman offers workshops on the adoption process through adult education programs.  Sign up for her coming workshop, "The Adoption Process from A to Z."  (Go to Events page to see latest workshop listings.)

​

To promote dialogue on adoption policies and practices, Ms. Wildman created the Chicago Adoption Dialogue Forum.  The first program, co-sponsored with Loyola University School of Law, Child Law Center, Chicago, Illinois brought together faculty from area universities.  The second program, co-sponsored with Midwest Adoption Network, addressed universal adoptee issues and highlighted current approaches to birth-family search, such as the expanded Illinois Adoption Registry.

​

When serving as chair of the American Bar Association Adoption Committee, Ms. Wildman initiated a resolution for the bar association which urged Congress to establish various benefits for adoptive families. One part of that resolution, a federal tax credit for adoption expenses, is now permanently available to adoptive families.
