Law Offices of Deborah E Spivack

Deborah E Spivack is owner of Law Offices of Deborah E. Spivack based in southern New Jersey. Her practice focuses exclusively on adoption and family planning in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Ms. Spivack has extensive experience representing adopting parents, birth parents, agencies and children (upon appointment by a court) in a broad range of adoption matters, including those which are private/independent, agency, identified, stepparent, second parent, guardian, legal custodian adoptions, or adoptions by individuals standing in loco parentis to the child, as well as adoptions of foreign-born children present in the United States. Many of these adoption cases have complex legal issues such as interstate placements, adoption subsidy, non-participating or contesting parties, international parties, immigration problems, Indian Child Welfare Act implications, state child protective services, and special needs or older children. She also has extensive experience in assisted reproductive technology law matters. Ms. Spivack frequently represents intended parents, gestational carriers, donors or donees of sperm, eggs, or embryos in drafting assisted reproductive technology agreements to protect their rights and in pursuing court orders explicitly recognizing parental status before and after the birth of a child to ensure legal permanency. Additionally, she is a fellow of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA), a membership-by-invitation-only association of 470 attorneys, law professors, and judges in the United States and throughout the world who are recognized as having extensive experience in the practice of adoption law, ART law, or both. AAAA Fellows ascribe to a practice-specific code of ethics that fosters best practices in adoption and assisted reproductive technology law. She earned her B.S. degree, cum laude, in business from Pennsylvania State University and her J.D. degree, cum laude, from Widener School of Law. Ms. Spivack is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
