A Commitment to Building Families

We have assisted with thousands of successful adoptions over 35 years of practice. It has been our honor to serve prospective adoptive parents and birth mothers by educating them about the adoption process, debunking myths commonly associated with adoption, and efficiently executing all necessary legal procedures involved in the process. Adoption should ideally be a win-win situation for all parties: the adoptive parents, the birth mother, and the child.

Our mission is to provide needed information and legal counsel to prospective birth mothers and adoptive parents in all manner of adoption categories, including newborn adoptions, stepparent adoptions, foster care adoptions, and more.

We assist in newborn adoptions and adoptions from foster care. We connect parents with children both in state and across state lines. We facilitate the adoption of older and special needs children, and help stepparents, and grandparents in their adoption matters.
