Wonderful experience and great expertise

We were introduced to Sherriann as we began our journey into adoption. Sherriann became a trusted counselor, tireless advocate, and wonderful friend through our process. She not only introduced us to other resources and professionals that helped us on our journey, she was able to connect us with th...e young woman that eventually became our Birth Mother when we were chosen to parent her baby! Sherriann helped us navigate our entire adoption journey and held our hand each step all the way through to the courthouse when the judge ruled our little promise was legally "ours"! We plan to use Sherriann again when we are ready to add to our family through adoption, and we have already encouraged several of our friends looking to adopt to utilize Sherriann and her team in their efforts.

We just finalized the step-parent adoption for my daughter.

My story is like many others, I am sure. Divorce, custody issues, fear of ex-husband, my daughter's biological father, over a long 8 years! I was nervous to begin this adoption case for the fear of opening that nightmare "can of worms". I had talked with another attorney that made the process seem... quick and easy which was music to my ears BUT when I started to ask the hard legal questions I was told she would have to check and get back with me (which didn't happen). This was not the confidence level I felt safe with. I was given Mrs. Hicks name by a business contact and after the first phone conversation I felt so confident in proceeding. Mrs. Hicks was so thorough, knowledgable, and eased my worries immediately. I was the last person that wanted to dig up the past BUT she made sure to cross every T and dot every I to make sure this was an iron clad case. December 20th my husband adopted my daughter and we were able to start a life without worry and fear. For this I will be forever grateful!
