COVID UPDATE

As COVID-19 continues to be an increasing challenge in our daily lives, our firm is doing our part to reduce the risk of transmission by having our staff work from home. We are determined to continue to provide support to birth families, children, and adoptive families while we all struggle with the unknown and fear this disease brings.

We remain committed to our work, even during these trying times. Although our staff is working remotely for now, we are able to continue to meet the needs of our clients. We encourage you to contact us through our email addresses, direct dial lines, or by calling any of our offices. All calls will be returned promptly. We will continue to offer consultations, information sessions and hearings by video conferencing.

We are all working our way through this new normal. Our mission has not changed, only the method we are currently delivering services. Stay safe!!
