Feedback on NY State Lic. Agencies and Lawyers Please
Hello all,
We are just getting started on a domestic adoption. We're not sure yet if we will use an agency or a lawyer but we've narrowed down our list to four of each. I believe they are all licensed in NY State even though some are located elsewhere. If you've had experience with any of these agencies or lawyers I'd appreciate it if you would PM about it. Here's the list and thanks for your help: Forever Families Through Adoption Adoption STAR Friends in Adoption Adoption Services Associates Michael Goldstein Elizabeth Swire Falker Britvan, Wool & Gibbons Laurie B. Goldheim

If you check Here you will probably be able to private message people about their experiences.

Thanks, that's a great thread. By chance has anyone made a similar one for lawyers?

Not that I have seen but if you do a search for those lawyers maybe you will find something. I am still pretty new myself I only joined two weeks ago so I am learning as I go.

I just PM'd you, but didn't see this post until now. Although we used STAR, STAR worked with ASA for our second adoption. And it was all processed through ASA, so I have experience with them too.
