We thoroughly enjoyed working with Ray, Lori, Marion, and the team! They are great communicators, timely in getting the ball rolling, and really held our hand through a process that can be very stressful and emotional. Paperwork was handled without difficulty, and we're blessed to have worked with and been represented by such a great team!

Families by Adoption took fantastic care of us from the very first phone call all the way through our finalization and beyond. They have a wonderful staff working around the clock to make sure everything is handled appropriately. If adoption is in your heart, then I suggest working together with Families by Adoption.

The M Family
Lori is amazing! She has the unique perspective of not only being a great lawyer but an adoptive mom herself so she gets it! Adoption is a journey with many ups and downs, and she was wonderful in helping us navigate the difficult parts. We are so thankful she was our attorney as we welcomed our daughter to our family.
