Welcome to my website, intended to tell you more about adoption in California, and my law practice. As an attorney, I've dedicated my career (39 years) exclusively to adoptions. I provide services for San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino Counties and beyond. I focus on adult adoption (where the person being adopted is 18+). I also assist with stepparent adoption (under age 18), but that is handled by my Stepparent Adoption Center law office. For that please visit StepparentAdoptionCenter.com.

I love my job, and believe adoption is the ultimate loving act - legally creating a family. Adoption can be a complex legal act, but I strive to make it feel smooth, simple and emotionally rewarding.

Despite having significantly more experience in adoptions than other attorneys, my fees are actually lower than lesser-experienced attorneys. I charge a flat fee rather than hourly, so you know in advance exactly what your costs will be. To adopt an adult (18+) the fee is $2,250. (This includes an adult stepchild.) I even pay the court filing fees and related costs from my fee, so no extra costs for you. Adult adoption consultations are free.

I hope the information I provide on these pages will be a helpful first step in completing your adoption. Please consider the two pages below to learn more about adult adoption and my experience and qualifications. I look forward to serving you.
