Excellent Lawyer!

Lauren assisted us through the adoption of our son and did an amazing job. Her communication with us was perfect and she had amazing attention to detail throughout the process. She’s made the process very smooth and as stress free as possible. Highly highly highly recommend her!!

Excellent Experience!!

Lauren McClain was such an integral part of our adoption journey. She began by providing us with clear, detailed information about our domestic adoption options. She patiently listened and answered all of our questions. We walked away from our first visit with Lauren, feeling guided, encouraged, empo...wered, and most of all...excited about taking the next step! Lauren continued to be a pillar of support for us throughout our adoption process. What a joy it was to have her with us on the day of our adoption finalization six months after our daughter was born. We will always be grateful for Lauren's gifts and talents. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and care for her clients. You do not need to look any further for an adoption attorney!

Wonderful Experience

Lauren helped answer all of our questions about the adoption process and calmed many of our fears along the way. She was personable and very prompt. I would recommend Lauren's services to anyone pursuing adoption.

Lauren was such a blessing while going through our adoption with our son. She answers your calls and emails in great time. She is supportive, caring, and a hard worker. We appreciate everything she did for us and now what she is doing for my best friend while she is adopting.

Highly Recommend

Lauren helped us with the process of readopting our little girl from China. She was easy to work with, personable and made the process smooth and straight forward. After finally being home with our little one and tackling the mountains of paperwork to adopt her it was a breath of fresh air to have ...this part of the process taken care of so professionally, easily and quickly!
