Our 100% court acceptance guarantee means:

If any court in the United States rejects documents we prepared, we refund 100% of your fee.

This has never happened. In 25+ years and 34,000+ adoptions, our documents have never been rejected by a court. Here's why:

Why we can offer this guarantee:

  • We've filed in every county in every state
  • We know each court's specific requirements
  • Our documents are reviewed by experienced professionals
  • We customize for your exact county — not generic state forms
  • We include all supplemental forms your specific court requires
  • Unlimited revisions are included if anything needs adjustment

What the guarantee covers:

  • All documents in your adoption package
  • Court-specific formatting and requirements
  • State law compliance
  • County-specific supplemental forms

What it doesn't cover:

  • The court's decision on the merits of your case (e.g., if the judge denies the adoption itself — which is rare)
  • Documents you modify after we prepare them

This guarantee is our promise that we know what we're doing — backed by 25+ years of proof.
