Adoption

Jayne Roberman is approved by New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division to conduct Adoption Home Studies in New York. For over 25 years, she has worked extensively facilitating private (domestic/ independent) adoptions by conducting home visits, preparing comprehensive home study reports for the courts, and counseling birth and adoptive families. Jayne is very familiar with the New York Courts and attorneys who facilitate adoptions.

In addition to traditional domestic adoptions, Jayne enjoys assisting same sex couples in New York State to adopt. Same sex couples (married or unmarried) can jointly adopt a child or one partner can adopt the other partner’s biological child, which is known as a second-parent or step-parent adoption.

Jayne accepts referrals from adoption attorneys, New York State Supreme and Family Courts, and prospective adoptive families.
