The Best Adoption Attorney on Earth

We are so lucky to have worked with Faith, the best adoption attorney in NY!...the country?!...The WORLD?!? Having first met at an adoption conference where we heard her speak, we instantly knew she was the one for us. Faith held our hands from start to finish, providing guidance, resources, fee...dback, and as much direct communication as we needed. She told us to follow her directions and we would become parents, so we followed them to a tee (creating an engaging social media and online presence), and 4 months later we brought home our son. From our first phone call to crossing back into NY with our boy, Faith went so above and beyond for us that it truly blew our minds. The kindness and compassion she showed our son’s birth parents was awe inspiring, making the process less scary and daunting for us all. We often talk to friends who are using other well regarded adoption attorneys and they just aren’t getting what Faith is giving. Faith is truly one of the most remarkable and special adoption attorneys ever.

Professional, Empathetic, Compassionate Adoption Attorney

Faith is an amazing adoption attorney. She was always there for us whenever we had a question and held our hands throughout the process. She remained professional, empathetic and compassionate during our journey. She understands what works and keeps up with new/popular modes and media for client adve...rtising. She is passionate about her craft and doesn’t just practice adoption law, she is adoption law. We would always highly recommend Faith Getz Rousso for all adoption attorney needs.

Domestic adoption

Faith was great. We used an adoption agency but thankfully Faith was our lawyer. Although it was a long process she kept us up to date and we felt she was looking out for us and our family.

Adult Adoption

From the beginning to the finalization, Faith kept us in the loop. Very satisfied with the entire process .

international adoption

We worked with Faith on a complex adult adoption case, with parents of different nationalities and living oversea. We had looked around and asked several attorneys how to handle the case, both in Europe and in the USA and she was the only one who knew what to do and who made it happen, handling eve...ryting smoothly and making the process seem easy.

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
