Jayne conducted our homestudy (and an updated homestudy) in connection with the adoptions of all three of our children (our older son and then twin infants). She was the consummate professional. Jayne's calm and warm demeanor immediately put us at ease so that we were able to openly discuss ourselves and our children. She also has a lovely manner with children, and we were completely comfortable having her interact directly with our children. In addition, the final homestudy report was well written and prepared promptly. I would recommend Jayne without reservation to anyone in need of a homestudy. – E.L. & C.R.
Jayne Roberman served as the court-appointed parenting facilitator with my former husband for about a year while an order of protection was in place. She was very fair and heard both parties and helped keep the communication civil for the benefit of the kids. She was insightful in identifying the underlying problems that were causing conflict. Jayne had very helpful feedback and suggestions that I think helped both of us navigate co-parenting better. Her work with us set the stage for a cordial, cooperative and peaceful shared custody arrangement. I would definitely involve her in the future if we hit a thorny issue and would recommend her to anyone who needs a neutral party as facilitator and sounding board. – D.S.
I am very grateful to have been the recipient of Jayne’s guidance and knowledge so that my son will now begin to receive the appropriate education to which he is entitled. When I became very concerned about my son’s growing resistance to school, I contacted Jayne. She helped me understand that it was the responsibility of the NYC Department of Education to provide my son with an education that would adequately meet his needs. She patiently helped me navigate the confusing and frustrating system so that I could get my son appropriately evaluated and then deal with the stress of the whole IEP process. There were many bumps along the way and Jayne walked me through every step providing me with emotional support and guidance so that I never felt alone. I really had no idea how challenging this would be. Throughout this process, Jayne was very compassionate and worked hard on behalf of my son and me. She was there to answer every question I had and she helped me become a strong parent advocate myself. I cannot recommend Jayne highly enough. She gets results and is a pleasure to work with. – B.L.
Jayne was designated by the Supreme Court judge in my divorce case to supervise visits with my daughter while a forensic evaluation was in progress. In such high tension and highly emotional situations, it is hard to trust imposed faces. Jayne managed to make everyone comfortable, be both present but discreet, helpful but transparent, friendly and professional. She kept my daughter's well-being a priority while being fair to both parties and being great at calmly diffusing sometimes difficult and often emotional situations. In the end she was instrumental in making the six months I was separated from my daughter, and only allowed to see her in Jayne's presence, both manageable and constructive. She had the rare skill of being able to help make the worries of a contentious and heated court case disappear for a few moments of carefree playtime with my child every week. I could not imagine a better person to work with in similar situations. – F.D.
