Vaughn-Michael H. Cordes

Vaughn was a joy to work with. He answered all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we knew what to expect. We adopted our son from him and he was amazing. He got all of the paperwork done and we never had to worry about a thing. If we decide to adopt a sibling for our son, we wi...ll use use him again.

Mr Cordes assisted us with adopting our son, which was very smooth. We contacted him a little over a year later and told him we were ready to adopt again and would like to work with him again. We waited about 5 months to be matched, and were matched with a single mother that was due the next month. T...he baby’s father ended up coming back into the picture and she ultimately decided to parent her child. They are still together, so We know that what was meant to be, happened. Due to this failed adoption, Mr Cordes did his very best for us to ultimately help match us with a couple that he believed would ultimately choose to place the child for adoption and were doing it for the right reasons. It took over a year after our failed placement, with some bumps along the way. There were potential situations that he guided us against, as he felt the adoption would not have been ethical or that the parents were not placing the child for the right reasons. We finally matched with a young couple that were expecting a baby due in November. Mr Cordes was a source of support for us, as he has adopted children himself, so along with legal guidance (like hiring the couple an attorney to represent them and not us), he also provided us with emotional support for the roller coaster ride of our second adoption. I believe he truly wants to do right by everyone he works with. We just had to give him the time and our patience for it to happen (as difficult as it was during that LONG wait) but it was ultimately worth it, as our family love has now expanded with our wonderful extended families in Arkansas.

Vaughn Cordes helped my husband and I with the adoption of our little boy in May 2016. He matched us very quickly with the birth mother, (1 day) and was very helpful and patient throughout the whole process. Vaughn procured us a quick adoption court hearing, and we left Arkansas with our legal son ...in 10 days. Vaughn has a heart of gold, and I know he cares deeply for the people involved....the birth parents, the child and the adoptive family. We are so grateful for Vaughn, and we highly recommend him to anyone who needs an adoption attorney.

We had a awesome experience with our adoption. We were matched in a very short time and had very good support throughout it. He has a very compassionate heart for his clients and the moms he works with and tries his best to make it successful. We were very blessed with his passion for the adoptions a...nd his willingness to help the birth moms, going out of his way countless times, even with a busy family himself. He can relate as he has adopted a number of those children. We found him to be a very honest and just attorney and would definitely choose him again with future adoptions. It was a true blessing working with a tenderhearted caring person.

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!
