In the 1980s I had the wonderful experience of becoming an adoptive parent. Erica, my older daughter, was born in 1988, and my experience with her birth mother took place over a period of four months. Although the adoption progressed smoothly,there were still many trying circumstances along the way. Approximately two and a half years later, I was blessed again to become the adoptive father to another little girl, Elizabeth, who joined our family in just three weeks.

As an adoptive parent, I can attest to the fact that the time, uncertainty, and emotional trials you will face during the adoption process are quickly forgotten once you hold your child in your arms for the first time. Because I experienced the same fears and concerns during my adoptions that you, too, may face, as your attorney I can offer you not only a unique understanding of the struggles related to your adoption but also a personal commitment to building your family through adoption.
