Legal Services For:

ADOPTIVE PARENTS

Adoption is a wonderful option for many people looking to start a family. Our firm understands that the process can be intimidating, confusing and emotional. We will work with you to determine what option is best suited for you and your family.

BIRTH PARENTS

There is a loving option for an unplanned pregnancy or for a child who needs more than you feel you can offer. You can make an adoption plan for your child with a prospective adoptive family and know as much about them as you wish.

ASSISTED REPRODUCTION

As medical technology advancements continue to change and develop, more viable opportunities for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatments and procedures have become available to those families experiencing fertility issues.

Our Adoption/ART team leaders are proud members of The Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA). AAAA is an organization of highly-vetted attorneys dedicated to the competent and ethical practice of adoption and assisted reproduction law.

AAAA works in courts and legislatures throughout the country, provides thought leadership through its publications and maintains a strong ethics code to ensure that their members follow best practices and are the standard-bearers for the industry.

Client Testimonials

Wonderful experience (adoption) Dimitra helped us with the legal process of adopting our child in Washington. She always made herself available and communication was clear, and fast! We really enjoyed the experience working with her, and would absolutely hire her again.

Working with Dimitra was amazing. She followed through with everything and made the whole adoption process go smoothly. I never had to wonder how everything was moving along as her team communicated with me every step of the way. Worth every penny!!

Dimitra helped us navigate and complete the adoption of our first child. We had a wonderful, positive experience, and she was tremendously helpful. We'd love to work with her again some day.

Dimitra Scott and Trisha Ruis made our adoption process so much easier and relieved as much stress as they could off our shoulders during a very stressful time. They were always prompt and attentive. Each showed they really did care about us and our new family as they guided us through the legal process of placement and finalization. We are forever grateful for all they did and would recommend Beresford Booth to anyone in the adoption process.
