Dayton and Cincinnati, OH — August 4, 2020 – Ruth T. Kelly, an attorney with the law firm of Faruki PLL, has been named an Adoption Fellow in the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys ("AAAA").
AAAA provides a credentialed presence in the law of family formation and is the largest professional organization of its type dedicated to advancing the security of children through permanent adoption, the protection of children through safe and secure foster care with appropriate permanency planning, and the recognition of intended parents as legal parents for those using modern technology to build families through assisted reproductive technology.
Located around the globe – including the United States, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Israel and the United Kingdom – Fellows of AAAA are considered legal thought leaders and are a highly-vetted, experienced group. AAAA Fellows like Kelly use best legal practices and have helped thousands of clients through their family building journey.
Kelly's practice includes prospective adoptive parent representation in private agency adoptions, foster adoptions as well as independent adoptions. She regularly represents birth parents as well. Kelly's practice also includes interstate adoptions (ICPC), Recognition (Re-Finalization) of Foreign Adoptions and step-parent adoptions. She is a member of the Foster Committee and Amicus Brief Committee in AAAA. Kelly's induction into AAAA follows a highly selective process, that requires no less than five years of legal practice, at least 50 adoptions, a referral for admission by a current AAAA Fellow, and rigorous review for high ethical standards and competency by the Board of Trustees.
