Has a Genuine Passion for Families

After researching several options to try adopt an infant in Northern Florida we became resigned to the idea that we simply could not afford to adopt a child. Ms. Wagner was recommended to us by a friend from our church. We found her to be compassionate, thorough and dedicated to helping us complete t...he adoption of our three year old son. Without requiring us to pay any consultation or wait list fee, Carolyn took the time to ensure we understood the adoption process, she referred us to our home study provider and she helped us with the creation of our profile book meant to give to birth moms considering adoption an understanding of our family and of the kind of life her baby would have if she choose to place with us. We appreciate the emphasis Carolyn places on caring for the emotional needs of the birth parents who work with her in addition to ensuring they are safe and supported during their pregnancy. . We would recommend that anyone considering placing a child for adoption or wishing to become an adoptive parent to contact Ms. Wagner.

Carolyn Wagner, Adoption Attorney: Experienced, Knowledgeable and Compassionate

I have worked with Carolyn Wagner on many adoptions over the years. Carolyn offers support and care to birth mothers and adoptive families alike. Carolyn is an expert in adoption law. Birth mothers trying to do what they feel is best for their baby and and those trying to create their family thr...ough adoption will appreciate her approach to helping them deal with the variety of emotional, legal and personal issues that often present during the adoption process. Carolyn offers education, support and coordination of all necessary services to ensure a positive adoption outcome .

Carolyn is the best!

We never thought we'd adopt, it was the best thing we ever did but knew it wasn't going to be easy. Carolyn helped us through the entire process caring for both the birth mother as well as us, the adoptive family. She has a true passion for helping others. There are uncertainties with adopting and sh...e kept us informed and up-to-date on all pertinent information. Not only do I highly recommend Carolyn; should we ever choose to adopt again, we would call on Carolyn to help us!!

  • 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.
