Vaughn-Michael H. Cordes

We appreciated the effort Mr. Cordes put into making our adoption a success. There were a few bumps along the way, as he works solely by himself, and communication was difficult, but he puts his heart into what he does and cares deeply for the Marshallese people. We are so grateful for his hard work!...

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.
