Ted Richard Youmans

Upon the adoption of my granddaughter, my daughter who is mentally ill became pregnant again. Even tho I was a foster parent at the time, the county took my granddaughter away. It took a month to get her back and I adopted her after a year. When my daughter became pregnant with Nodin I got scared.... The county (Bakerfield) told me they would not release my grandson to me and I would have to fight for him. They explained they hated Riverside County and it would take an act of God to get him. I fought and I was the first person to get guardianship of an unborn child in my county according to my grandsons attorney. I did all the paperwork to adopt and the Judge was hard on me and told me I had to have an attorney or she would drop my case. I contacted my old adoption agency and they gave me Ted's name. Ted and his staff (Beth ) are more then words can describe. They are intelligent, communicative, helpful, loving, kind, attentive, passionate, knowledgeable, bright, and aggressive. I could never tell you how much I love and appreciate them and I have worked in the legal industry. If you want an attorney that will stand by you, Ted and his group are the best in the business. The knowledge and respect they have in the community make then a great asset. They are honest and forthright. If you want a group of people with integrity, grit, honor, dedication to your cause, well look no further. They are the best in my opinion. I would recommend them above all.

We were referred to Ted by another adoption attorney and I am so grateful that our paths crossed. Ted was a godsend though a very emotional time and without him we would have been overwhelmed and extremely anxious. His words gave us peace of mind and allowed us to hope. He loves adoption and bringing... families together and it shows! If we adopt in the future Ted will most definitely be our adoption attorney. We highly recommend him.

Ted Youmans and his team are all amazing! We have adopted 4 of our children through his office and we seriously can't recommend him enough. Each of our adoptions had unique challenges and Mr. Youmans and his team were such a great support to us through it all. I can't imagine my life without each of ...my little blessings and their bio families and we have Mr. Youmans and his staff to thank for our full and happy family.

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.

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.
