Inquiries for Intercountry Adoptees

Thanks for your interest in securing legal help or advice as an intercountry adoptee in the United States. I use this form to determine if I may be able to help you. Please let me know more about your issue so that I can determine what it may involves. I do not charge for reviewing your information or talking to you to determine if it is a case that I may be able to handle.

Note: this form is not for general inquiries. It is intended solely for intercountry adoptees who have questions or concerns about their U.S. citizenship. If this does not fit your situation, please use my general contact form to request information.

Please understand that submission of information through this website form is considered confidential. Submission of information does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and me or Adoptee Rights Law Center PLLC. As a matter of strict policy, I do not agree to represent a new client without first investigating for possible conflicts of interest and also drafting a retainer agreement that is signed by you and me (on behalf of Adoptee Rights Law Center PLLC).
