Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!

Do you know how the legal process of adoption works? How do you get an original birth certificate? How do you get a social security number for your adopted child? We talk with Brinton Wright, an adoption attorney and Fellow in the Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys about the legal and social implications of adoption.

In this episode, we cover:

• Different types of adoption.
• The difference between voluntary and involuntary termination of parental rights.
• What is meant by a "legal risk" adoption.
