Vaughn-Michael H. Cordes

I began contact with Vaughn in October, and was matched in November. He was very helpful, and he gave me a breakdown of expenses in the very beginning. He never asked for more money, and he always got back to me when I had a question. I felt like he treated the birth mom very well, and always made su...re she had what she needed. Justin was a little abrasive, though, and he is looked upon very poorly in the hospital, which made the hospital stay a little rough. Overall, I felt that Vaughn was a good lawyer, and was very ethical. I would use him again if I ever decided to adopt a second time!

My husband and myself contacted Mr. Cordes in January of 2016. It was a very difficult decision that we prayed on for months. We have been trying to adopt a baby from RMI for the last 3 and half years! We submitted our dossier last year after waiting on a list with our agency for almost 24 months! Du...e to the slow down in international adoptions on the islands we decided that we would pursue a Marshallese domestic adoption. (It wasn't an option for our family to switch countries..we desire an open adoption. We truly love the Marshallese culture) In January I started calling all attorney facilitating Marshallese domestic adoption in Arkansas. I asked many questions..the other attorneys just told me to submit there application and they would match us..they didn't have the time to speak to me so I felt... but Vaughn he was extremely patient, kind, and compassionate regarding our unique situation! He answered all questions and never once rushed the conversation. He did inform me that his firm is a small firm so communication is an issue for some so he did want me to no that just incase that would be an issue..We were recently matched with a very lovely family! Its been so fun and exciting bonding with them! Justin Vaughn's interpreter is great! He is super attentive to the Marshallese families! He truly loves each one of them and looks out for them! They look up to Justin. Ive contacted Justin many times to ask questions or just to visit about RMI and he is always happy to answer my calls.
