Dreams do come true!!

Faith made my dream come true after another attorney notched up my case. From my first conversation with Faith, I knew she really meant that she could make this adoption happen. She is responsive to phone calls, emails and texts. I wish I knew about her before I hired the other law firm. I highly re...commend Faith without hesitation. She puts her whole heart and soul in what she does.

Highly REcommend

We are incredibly grateful for the support and guidance we received from Faith during our adoption journey. From the very beginning, she made the process smooth, clear, and as stress-free as possible. Faith was always compassionate, attentive, and professional, taking the time to answer all our quest...ions and ensuring we understood each step. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we were able to bring our child home without worry. We highly recommend Faith to anyone going through the adoption process. She truly made a difference in our lives.

Wonderful attorney… wonderful person

We had a complicated adoption case which went to trial. Faith worked with us diligently until the trial concluded in our favor… it took 3 years and she never missed a beat. Many times it seemed Faith knew us better than we knew ourselves. She is dedicated above and beyond professional demands. Would ...recommend her as both an attorney and an incredible person.

Faith is the best!

We started looking into the adoption process in the summer of 2020 and a friend of ours who had recently adopted recommended we speak to Faith. When we first met with Faith during our initial consultation, we could tell how passionate she was about her field and we knew we would be in good hands. Fai...th helped get us state certified and home study approved by November of 2020. While we were waiting to get certified, the office’s social media specialist Mia helped us get our website and social media accounts prepared and ready to launch once we got certified. Fast forward to June of 2021 when we were contacted by our son Joey’s birth mother. Faith went above and beyond to help us through this roller coaster of a ride. She was our rock and was also a quick phone call, text or email away when we had a question or concern. We flew to Arizona for our son’s birth and Faith was still at the ready whenever we needed anything or had any questions. The adoption process is not for the faint of heart and can be very complex, but Faith helps and guides you every step of the way along this incredible journey. We will be forever grateful to Faith for helping us become parents to our sweet and adorable Joey. For anyone who is looking into private adoption, we highly recommend The Law Office of Faith Getz Rousso, P.C.

Highly recommend

Faith was a great resource for us during our adoption of our daughter. We wish we had hired sooner than we did as she educated us on points we were unaware of as foster parents. We highly recommend her and if we are ever in a position to adopt through foster care in the future, we would hire her agai...n, as soon as the foster system allows. Faith truly goes above & beyond for her clients and really cares about the children.

"In addition to knowing Ms. Rousso in the professional networking context, my wife and I consulted with her when exploring our options for starting a family. Aside from being knowledgeable and professional, we found her to be warm, kind and sympathetic to our situation, and exactly the kind of person you'd want to have with you at every step of a process as complicated and emotional as an adoption."
