In 1993, I helped my first family join together through the process of adoption. It was a joyful and life-affirming experience. I decided then that this was what I wanted to do with my life. For the past 20 years, I've been helping children and parents build and grow their families through adoptions of all types: agency adoption, international adoption, interstate adoption, relative adoption, co-parent adoption, step-parent adoption, and foster parent adoption.
I'm adoption lawyer Genie Gillespie. My Chicago law practice is exclusively devoted to adoption and the legal issues concerning the safety and security of children. I've helped hundreds of couples and individuals realize their dreams of parenthood. Whether you are hoping to adopt for the first time, or you want to bring a sibling home to join your other children, my law office can assist you.
