Amira Sarah Trattner Hasenbush

Amira and her team helped my wife and I obtain a confirmatory adoption that recognizes both of us as the legal parents of our child. She was super kind, worked efficiently, and ultimately secured our adoption which has given us a feeling of security and comfort. Should we have another child,... we will certainly be reaching back out, and we would recommend her to others in a similar position! Thanks Amira!

My spouse and I are happy and very satisfied with the services we received from Amira and her team. We found them to be approachable, caring, informative, and prompt. Prior to reaching out to Amira, we hit a couple of roadblocks in finding an attorney that could provide us answers to whether or no...t it was a good decision for me to take the extra step to formally adopt my daughter. Even though my spouse and I are married, and I am named as a parent on our daughter’s birth certificate we wanted to secure my parental rights at the federal level due to the political climate appearing unstable. In our search for a lawyer to help us, we came across a few that told us that we are protected. We also came across a non-existent protocol for same-sex couples to submit the second parent adoption paperwork. Still feeling uneasy with the answers we were getting we continued our search. Thankfully, we were able to find Amira via Connecting Rainbows. Reaching out to her and going through the intake process was the best decision. Overall, the process was simple, welcoming, and we immediately felt comfortable. Thank you, Amira for helping us!

I was referred to Amira by another lawyer due to the intricacies of my situation. Amira was extremely prompt in her responses, walked me through all possible legal outcomes and provided a safe space for me to work through my decision. She gave me the space, time and compassion for such a delicate sit...uation. She was prompt in the paperwork needed and was very thorough in her responses. I appreciate her dedication and support of LGBTQ+ families.

As my husband and I launched into the stressful process of trying to have a child through surrogacy, we knew we needed a solid attorney to help us navigate the myriad of challenges we would face. We heard Amira speak on a podcast about surrogacy and could tell she was an expert in this field. Selecti...ng her as our attorney was the best decision we've made in this journey. She is incredibly smart and thorough in her work, and she is also a compassionate, warm person with a great sense of humor. She has guided us through many challenges and makes everything easier to understand. Amira values our perspective and respects our decisions. She is also passionate about helping surrogates and intended parents enter into solid contracts that protect and respect all parties. It's obvious that this is more than a job to Amira. She loves what she does and cares about her clients. This is the type of person you want representing you when you're launching into a process like surrogacy. We cannot recommend Amira highly enough.
