We trust Ted!

As a professional in the adoption world when the opportunity to adopt our son came, Ted, was the only one that I would trust with the matters of my heart. And we were not disappointed, we are grateful for the time and commitment to our family. Not only did they provide excellent legal services, the...y were great at calming the fears and helping to wipe the tears of all those involved. Thank you Ted and Family Building to help us build our forever family.

Ted changed our lives!

Wow! Our family could not be more thrilled with Ted Youmans and Family Building. We adopted our daughter in July and it was the most beautiful process. As with any adoption, there were ups and downs - but the unique thing about Ted & Family Building is that he and Sheryl have the most compassionat...e hearts. In the worrisome moments they were not only our legal counsel but also our support system and emotional counsel. They responded to every question we had with so much love and patience. I could not give a heartier recommendation to anyone I've ever worked with, in any industry. The entire Family Building team is excellent!

Ted Youmans

To Whom It May Concern: My family and I could not be happier with the adoption services, guidance, care, and strategies, that we were given by Ted Youmans, at Family Building. Not only was he spot-on and proactive, every step of the way, but he also choreographed the right steps, to secure an excell...ent result. My family and I thoroughly appreciate everything that Mr. Youmans did, in connection with the adoption services that they rendered to us.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

I have dealt with this attorney on more than one occasion , not by choice. I am in the adoption business and he was involved , and in two cases he abscounded with the birthmothers that we working with and that he became involved with for legal services. He lied and said that she disappeared, but she ...called us and told us the truth...that he had placed her child with one of his families at , I am sure, a huge profit. This self professed Christian has a reputation of doing this to adoption professionals so beware

"Ted Youmans is an excellent and caring attorney. Ted and his wife care about their work and the families that they work with. He goes above and beyond to not only have smooth cases for his clients, but also equips them with information and tools for a smooth transition after the adoption. I highly recommend Ted and would have him represent my family if I was unable to take the case."
