Easy second parent adoption
As a same sex couple, even though we are married, we knew we needed an extra layer of protection for our son. Faith got to work on the adoption as soon as he was born and it was finalized sooner than we had ever hoped. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. We hope to be back in the future
Thank you so much for your kind words!

Best Adoption Lawyer
Faith Rousso is always available to answer any question we have, or be there for guidance and support. She takes the time to explain how to adopt, how to speak with pregnant girls and the legal process. She is the most caring attorney. We are happy to call her a friend.
"Faith is an excellent, caring and enthusiastic attorney and advocate for her clients. I have and will continue to refer her prospective adoptive parents and birth parents."
"I endorse this lawyer. Faith Getz Rousso not only uses her knowledge , wisdom and experience, she pursues her clients cases with every bit of her heart and soul."
"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."
