About Us

Here at Family Building, a professional law corporation, we are passionate about giving children in this world a restored generational line as well as create opportunities to provide children with a loving and safe home they deserve. We have an outgrowth of a commitment to helping children find stable homes that has served as a guiding light for our principal attorney, Ted R. Youmans’ entire career. In 1987, when he was still a law clerk, he saw the great need among children to have a home and life that offered a promise of stability and the hope of a healthy, happy future the way he himself received by growing up in a two parent loving home himself. He made a decision to devote his professional life to doing all he could to help those children find that life. His passion has set the tone for the entire team at Adoption Law Firm Anaheim California servicing all of California and is the driving force behind all that we do. Proving children with healthy and happy homes is in our core and pours out into every interaction we have with each individual client.

At Adoption Law Firm Anaheim California servicing all of California, we absolutely love to provide families with educational tools and resources so that they fully comprehend the process and are not blindly following the proven paths. We strive to help adoptive couples understand how adoption works so that they can make informed and educated decisions that best suit them and their specific needs. Once they embrace the spirit of adoption and the myths and fears about adoption are cleared away, they move into the process with a clear vision, open arms, and full hearts. This is true for birth mothers, birth fathers and children who are in need of a new generational trajectory. This is 100% your journey that we are simply privileged to walk alongside of you on. Making sure that the birth parents and adoptive parents are all supporting is just as important to us as the placement of the child and the future we are setting them up for. The process is not meant to prioritize one specific party, but rather all involved. We are in the business of building families which means building up each of the members involved and setting them up for success in the process, whatever that may look like to them. It could mean placing their child with an adoptive family, a couple receiving the gift of a child to join their family, or a child’s generational line being impacted forever through the placement of that child with a loving family.

Adoption Law Firm Anaheim California servicing all of California uses different strategies to ensure that families are built including guardianship which is meant to provide stability without the process of legal adoption. It’s a viable option for you if you are a family member wanting to provide another family member with that love and support through becoming a legal guardian of their child. If this is something that you are interested in, you will then become the guardian of the child until the age of 18. Of course, the impact you will make in that child’s life will create a bond that will last much longer than the legal guardianship we can guarantee. This guardianship does not need to permanently stay at that status either, but can also transform to become an adoption if that is something that you opt for. Far greater than solidifying a legal process, we are facilitating the solidification of a family.

Some other ways in which we aid in establishing these families is through birth mothers who choose to place their child with another family, making that sacrifice out of love and courage. We call them “heroes” because of the unimaginably brave and selfless parenting decision that they make to change the child’s trajectory. This decision ensures that the child is then raised in a home that honors the birth parents for that parenting choice. Private infant adoptions are available as well as foster adoption, adoption of a relative, or even adult adoption. Regardless of the route you decide to take, rest assured that we will work in the best interest of both you and the child. The vital role that we play is not taken lightly. We would encourage you to contact us and learn about the options at your disposal here at Adoption Law Firm Anaheim California servicing all of California.
