Very Smooth Process

We worked with Nathan Leach of Herrin & Leach, LLC for our kinship adoption. Overall, the process went very smoothly, and we are grateful for how professionally and efficiently everything was handled. Nathan and his team guided us through each step with clarity and made sure we understood what to exp...ect along the way. While I did feel that the cost was a bit high for a kinship adoption, the level of service and the peace of mind in knowing the process was handled correctly were reassuring. We’re thankful for their help in bringing this important chapter of our family’s journey to completion.

Smooth and simple experience

Nate Leach handled the adoption of my son, born in December 2024 in Lafayette, IN. He works with Hamilton County courts, known to be the most responsive to and supportive of adoption in the state. Everything went very smoothly and Nate was extremely responsive and communicated by email, which is my p...reference. Make sure to choose a true AAAA adoption attorney like Nate to handle your adoption… you won’t regret it.

Would highly recommend!

Nate was amazing to work with! We adopted our foster placement from DCS and he made this process stress free! He answered any questions we had, responded in a timely manner, and had our backs as first time adoptive parents! We will definitely use him again in the future

Highly Recommend

Where do I begin? My husband and I got confirmation from our niece that she wanted us to adopt her unborn baby girl. When the final decision was made, we had about a month before the baby was due. Needless to say, there was a lot to figure out. When we connected with Nate, he forever changed our live...s. Our niece and Nate are in Indiana and my husband and I live in Texas. Not only did he walk us through the process, he helped us find a social worker who could conduct a home study in a hurry here in Texas. We were on pins and needles wondering if it would all happen. Nate was so patient with us, calming our nerves, answering a thousand questions and doing it all with the utmost professionalism and kindness. He was also upfront about costs and his prices were more than fair. When my husband and I arrived at the hospital, we were greeted by the social worker and shown to our own room. I thought we would be staying in a hotel and driving back and forth. Nate had communicated so thoroughly with the staff. We felt so welcomed and informed. Our experience with the hospital was amazing and in large part due to his planning and commitment to service. Once we came home with our little girl, Nate continued to check in and update us on the progress of the adoption. When the court date arrived, we couldn’t have felt greater joy than knowing she was ours forever! Nate helped make us a family. He will forever be a part of our hearts and lives. I cannot imagine going through this process with anyone else.

"I endorse this lawyer. Nate and I worked on a complex interstate adoption matter involving child protective services. He represented the adoptive parents. He was very effective in directing the case toward having the adoptee placed with the adoptive family and getting everybody home to Indiana. He was easy to reach and provided anything I needed from him quickly and accurately. I would gladly refer him for adoption matters involving Indiana parties."
