Both of my kids came via the neon stork, but both adoptions were quite different. Kirsh & Kirsh and their staff handled everything as close to perfectly as one could hope. Adoption #1 was pretty smooth--couple of hiccups but nothing that would have jeopardized the adoption. I remember Steve giving me a reality check that put things in perspective. I know someone who did an adoption with another attorney and was bragging about how little it cost. Yes, but a few months later, she had issues that Kirsh and Kirsh had already addressed. I paid a bit more, but I was able to sleep soundly at night knowing that my son's adoption was done correctly. Adoption #2 was different. Steve sarificed time with his family on his birthday to handle our consents. And, this was a high risk adoption for many reasons, but throughout the process, we were aware of possible scenarios and our rights vs. the right thing to do. Thanks to Joel's advice and the help of the update coordinator, things turned out really well. We and the kids have good relationships with both birthfamilies and that's due mostly to the groundwork laid by Kirsh and Kirsh. I can't thank and praise them enough.
