Linda J Barnby

Yes, the adoption process can be stressful and it may have moments of ups and downs. With that being said, I am so thankful intrusting Linda with our adoption. Her passion and commitment to both the birthmother and us overshadowed the challenges of the adoption process. We are so grateful and thankful to Linda and her staff. I am also thankful for a referral from a co-worker who used Linda for her adoption. Everyday I hold my daughter in my arms, I can not express the appreciation and gratitude we have for Linda. She made our dream come true!!!

Linda and her assistant (Jody) were the best possible adoption lawyer service we could imagine. Not only did they match us with a great birthmother/baby, but they went above and beyond the normal course of what we would expect for their duties to ensure the mother/baby were safe in tough circumstances, and understood how important this adoption was to our family. They always proactively called/emailed us to ensure we were aware of next steps, concerns and educating us on the process. We found out about the selection in early September, and had the baby home by early October. The birthmother also thought a lot of Linda and her team and that made her very comfortable in working with us throughout the process. Extremely smooth and we can't thank them enough for their tireless efforts in a successful adoption.

Linda and team made my dream of motherhood a reality. I was connected with Linda in August 2013, matched in September, and my beautiful son was born in late October. I will be forever grateful to Linda and her staff for giving me a fairy-tale, happily-ever-after ending to my 2+ year journey.

My husband and I started our journey 4 years ago with visiting fertility doctor #1. After months of unsuccessful treatments and heartbreak we moved on to doctor #2. Doctor #2 was convinced he could get us pregnant. 3 years later and still heartbroken we found ourselves wondering what our next step would be. We were so ready to be parents and the doctors had no answers for us. Friends of ours had adopted. We met for dinner and started our journey with adoption center #1. We developed our birth mother book, got our background checks done and completed our home study. We expedited everything so no time was wasted and then waited and waited and waited. The adoption center didn't call and wasn't very informative when we called. That's when a friend casually mentioned to a co-worker that we were trying to adopt. "Really?" he replied. I adopted my son and loved my attorney, your friends should try her. We received Linda's contact information. She was open and responsive to our call, answered all our questions and, importantly, was a calm in our multi-year storm. We had our initial call with Linda in July. We met our birth mother in September and our son was born in October. It was a quick end to our very long journey! Our birth mother was amazing, caring, thoughtful and open. For our initial adoption experience, it was wonderful and Linda and her team were there every step of the way. I don't think I can accurately capture in words how I feel about our adoption experience. I cry every time I tell the story. I had my girlfriends in tears at my shower. We're a family and we have Linda and her team to thank. The only thing we could think to add is adoption experience #2 with Linda and a little girl :).

Linda and her staff are the reason that I am a mother. Yes, Linda is a busy attorney but clients are not left without support. Her staff provides excellent service and ensures that all of your questions are answered in a timely manner. Linda is very experienced with adoption, birth parents and waiting families. During my adoption process, I felt she really advocated for me and worked towards a successful outcome for everyone.
