Domestic (U.S.) Adoption Attorney Referrals?

Question

Has anyone adopted a child/infant in the U.S. using an Adoption Attorney and if so who did you use and were you satisified? This is one of many avenues we are taking to finding the right representation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Adoption Associates in Michigan. One of the most reputable agencies in this state.

Answer 2

My wife and I adopted domestically (US) in 2006.  We were very happy with our attorneys.  If you are looking for an attorney in Illinois or Indiana e-mail me and I can give you a name and address.

Answer 3

Our experience with our attorney was pretty rough. He was in an accident and in traction for months. He later had his paralegal do the work (I paid for him) and this got messed up  for a min. It ended up taking about 18months to finalize because when you go through an attorney tha agency is in no hurry to do the thing needed.

Also it seemed like , because there's a taboo about talking about money, he kept coming up with new costs that weren't in the contract. I felt like if I told him the costs weren't just I'd look like I didn't love my son enough. It's extortion.
