Why You Need a Lawyer

When court looms and the consequences of losing are unacceptable, don’t take a chance. Lawyers are especially important to:

  • Handle adoption to make sure your child is placed with you instead of a long-lost relative or other home chosen by the DCS.
  • Fight false allegations of abuse or neglect.
  • Make your voice heard when the people who should be listening aren't.

My story

Adoption and foster care have been a part of my life since my childhood. My parents adopted four of my siblings to add to the eight of us who were "homemade" (as my Dad likes to say). Twelve children were apparently not enough, however, as we had many foster children live with us over the years! One thing that stuck with me about these foster children was that they all seemed to live in limbo, bouncing from foster home back to birth home then to another foster home until they eventually "aged out" of the foster care system with no home to call their own.

I entered Indiana University School of Law at Bloomington with the goal of eventually doing something about this problem of "foster care drift". Since 1997, I have devoted my law practice to representing parents who wish to give permanent homes to children through adoption, and also to foster parents who wish to have legal representation in a variety of settings.
