Second Parent Adoption

We are a same sex married couple who wanted to ensure that both of our parental rights would be upheld in any circumstance. Faith guided us through the adoption process, filing papers just as soon as our son was born. He was legally adopted within three months of birth, which was a relief for our fam...ily.

Simply the BEST!!!

We hired Faith to be our lawyer in pursuing a private domestic adoption in the hopes of growing our family! From the first time we met with her we knew she was the lawyer for us! She was down to earth, super personable, professional and knowledgeable of all the ins and outs of adoption! Once hiring ...her she has been with us every step of the way with our adoption journey. Whether it's paperwork, advertising, talking to birth mothers or just calling to check in! She's a lawyer that understands what your dreams are for a family and helps you make them come true! She is always available whenever we need her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is simply the BEST! Hoping our baby finds us in 2017!

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

"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."
