The legal profession is broad.  There are many options for attorneys when they graduate law school, from practicing law to working in a number of different areas.  It's often the case that an attorney will spend most or all of a career without any exposure to certain practice areas.  This is the case with us and adoption law.  The area is foreign to us in that we have never been involved with an adoption.  

That changed when good friends of ours adopted twin boys.  Seeing their experience, and the joy that the adoption brought to their family, the world of adoption suddenly became much more real.

On this episode Scott talks with Mary Walsh Snyder, an attorney who devotes her entire practice to adoptions.  Mary is incredibly knowledgable about the world of adoption, and in this wide ranging conversation we talk about "open" adoptions, the best age to tell the child, some common concerns from parents involved in the process, and a good bit about parenting in the world of social media.  

This was a very enlightening discussion, and Mary is clearly an attorney who has found her passion.  Please enjoy our conversation.
