Samira Pardakhtim10/20/2025

Christina and her team were absolutely amazing through this entire process. We were dealing with a DV type of situation in which made it hard emotionally to reopen those memories. Our case was complicated as we figured he'd contest termination of parental rights. He did not contest, but made it extremely hard to locate and serve him. Not only was she upfront and honest throughout the entire process, but she showed empathy for my individual experiences with bio. I could go on and on about her diligence and dedication to our case!! She made the process as painless as possible. We will be grateful for what she did for our family forever.

Chelsea Mack10/2/2025

Christina is hands down the best adoption attorney in the area!!! We had a complicated case that involved termination of parental rights and would likely be contested. She was honest and forthcoming every step of the way, making sure we understood what we were up against along with the probable and possible outcomes for every step of our case. She had a plan that displayed an unparalleled level of expertise for navigating every obstacle that came up. Her diligence in handling the details required and making sure everything that needed to be done and done in a timely manner was top notch. I could go on and on about how incredible she is solely based on her dedication to our case paired with her expertise throughout the entire process!!! Christina is definitely the attorney you want representing you for all of your adoption matters! I would give her 100 stars if I could! We are forever grateful for what she was able to accomplish for us and for all her hard work along the way!!!

Indrid8/14/2025

Christina Sherman and Annelise Martin were both extremely professional, and willing to answer our questions and help us in our families adoption proceedings. After several discussions with them about how to possibly proceed, of which they were very honest and upfront about how the situation could go, we retained them to handle our case. With their continued assistance and effort, not only did the case rule in our favor, but what was a highly stressful and challenging situation went about as smooth as possible. I would strongly recommend them.

Taylor Benedick7/16/2025

My husband and I are so thankful for Christina and her assistant. We came to them with a VERY complicated case and a 4 day deadline to complete a private adoption. No only did they beat the deadline of when the baby was supposed to be here, but they helped us through every aspect of this case. From the first conversation we had, I immediately felt taken care of and knew they would help us through this. The case became a lot more complicated and Christina confidently told us not to worry and she was able to help with it all. Christina came to the hospital and brought a cute gift for our sweet baby boy. Every time I spoke with Christina or her assistant I felt comforted and had full faith that they could see us through everything. I cannot say enough great things about working with Christina. I am so thankful she was able to help us and saw us through everything. She feels a bit like family now and we will always be extremely grateful for all of her hard work and compassion.

Nicole Loucks10/7/2022

Hailee Olsen5/25/2025

Christina helped us with a contested adoption. She looked at the case from multiple angles and consistently looked for the path of highest likelihood of success. In the end the other parent agreed to terminate rights and we were able to complete the adoption.

Christina was easy, fast and efficient to work with. Her and her team made it a seamless process.

Jermaine Brown11/24/2021

I can’t thanks enough to Christina Sherman and her wonderful staff for helping me in the adoption of my niece, their courtesy and professionalism is above and beyond, I will absolutely recommend her firm for any of the services she provided specifically if it’s related to adoptions process.

Gloria Raquel Stanwycks Martinez4/3/2025

My husband and I strongly recommend this genius lawyer attorney for adoption process. She was recommended from an agent who handles child services. Good thing i trusted and believed in that agent’s word of advice and took her advice because everything i was told from that person appeared to be true. Christina is a very sweet loving, amazing family-oriented, and a very helpful individual to deal with. Even if your situation seems hard at first, she will always find a way to help you get thru with a positive attitude and to help you win your case. She and her assistant Annelise did a great amazing job as quick as possible just within about 3 to 4 total months of wait for a final approval. Our process was sort of tough at first but these two helped made everything easy to follow along and we didn’t have to do much but collecting just evidence signatures and personal documents to them while they deal with the hard part. Am sooo relieved that within 3-4 months we receive our final approval. We are now very excited and grateful for their sweet and loving hard work upon our adoption process. Our hats off and we would definitely choose Christina Sherman once again if we ever have to adopt another child in the future or preferably for any other legal issues that she handles. You will not be disappointed 😇

Faalua Jacklyn Sope-Tauanuu9/28/2021

My Family and I cannot put into words the gratitude we have for Christina. Our case was not an easy one and we had no idea how to navigate this process. Every single step of the process was handled with care and urgency. We could not have been more fortunate to have found her. We cannot thank her enough for everything. She truly was a blessing to our family and we appreciate every single effort she put into our case and helping us adopt our little boy. Best Christmas present we could have asked for. Thank you Christina! 🤎 The Morgan Family

Miata Morgan12/21/2024

Christina and Annelise were simply amazing. They took a VERY stressful process and made it so much easier. Christina was supportive, positive, responsive, communicative, and reassuring. She is also very knowledgeable. We had the best experience and we would absolutely trust them with all our future adoptions! Thank you Christina and Annelise for helping our dream of becoming a family come true!

Sarah Anderson7/21/2021

My wife and I recently were blessed to have our dreams finally come true by adopting our child. We waited many years for this to happen and it wouldn’t have been possible with the help of Christina Sherman and her team of experts who helped us every step of the way . The legal process seemed very efficient and thorough and in the end, we couldn’t feel more lucky to have everything happen the way it did. Many thanks to everyone who supported us and especially Christina and her firm. Thank you 🙏🏻

Amy Ruegger5/26/2021

I cannot say enough good things about Christina Sherman. She literally made my dream come true and it took much less time than I thought it would. We had a very unusual case and she handled like a pro! I live in a different county but it was well worth the drive to be able to have Christina represent my family with our adoption case. I decided to use her based on her reviews and I am beyond glad that I did. I HIGHLY recommend Christina Sherman if you need an adoption attorney! She'll get it done and quickly! Thank you Christina!! 

Christina Burgess9/24/2024

Christina helped our family with two adoptions, one for an older child and one for our baby. She walked us through the entire process and checked in with us every step of the way. She was warm and inviting, making us feel comfortable throughout. I am so thankful to have had someone who could ease my worries. We are now the legal parents of both children and couldn't be happier! My wife and I would like to adopt again in the future and we know we have someone we can go with confidence that the job will be done quickly and efficiently.

Hannah Crock5/12/2021

I cant express my gratitude and appreciation for the work Christina did for our family to finally become one. Christina was very prompt in replying to any questions I had and I never had to reach out to hear how a day in court went - it seemed if I ever got antsy to write a message there was one waiting for me. I would 100% recommend and have already done so.
Thank you so much!

Kayla Krebs7/31/2024

We went through adoption with her. It is stressful time and lot going on with kids and parents. She put everyone to ease and helped, guided very well entire process, which lead to successful completion. I would highly recommend to utilize her expertise and experience for adoption in south sound area. Thank You Christina.

JT12/31/2020

I have worked with Christina for many years, and have always found her to be a knowledgable and reliable advocate for families navigating through the adoption process. This is especially true for adoption cases with very difficult or challenging components, including litigation. She is both competent and compassionate, and it is clear she enjoys her work helping families come together. I highly recommend her as an adoption attorney.

Seta Ghazarian3/30/2024

Christina was first and foremost absolutely wonderful to work with!! She is very knowledgeable and professional and you can see she absolutely loves what she does. Her price was very reasonable and kept her original price and didn’t try to charge us for something that she didn’t do. She was very prompt with communication and got back to us very fast. We would absolutely recommend her service to anyone that needs help with their adoption.

Tina Hawley11/12/2020

I have worked with Christina over many years in Adoption and I have to say she is the BEST! She is knowledgeable, kind, efficient, and very informative throughout the entire process. My family enjoyed working with Christina as she is respectable, reliable, and bottom line she knows what she is doing and will get the adoption finalized promptly. Her fees are reasonable, and she is readily available whenever you need her. I would highly recommend Christina Sherman if one were looking for an adoption attorney to help expand their families as she is very compassionate about her work. 

Megan Tran3/6/2024

Amazing Lawyer, I can't express how great she was. She got our adoption done faster than the time frame she gave us. She made us all feel very comfortable and communicated every detail to us. She really took the time to help us and showed that she cared. Highly recommend.

Andrea Flores10/28/2020

In short - If you are looking for an adoption attorney Christina is hands down the best out there. Simply amazing and a blessing, you will not be disappointed. We brought our, what felt like an impossible situation to Christina, ready to take the leap of faith. Christina helped us with not only 1 but 3 step-parent adoptions. It was always my dream to have a tri-adoption, but an impossible dream at that. One of the adoptions began as contested, as expected, but we had full confidence in Christina, we were prepared to fight the fight, knowing it could take a very long time, but to all of our surprise in roughly 7 months time, she was able to settle the case before trial. That same week the other two adoptions were agreed to and in October, my dream of a tri-adoption came true. Christina and her team are amazing, she is very knowledgeable, aggressive, always has a plan - and a back up plan. She is honest and up front, I always knew what to expect and what was coming. When you're feeling the anxiety and pressure from the process, she's there to talk you off the ledge. If you would have told me at the start of this year that this year would turn out this way, I would have never believed it. If you have ever considered adoption or step-parent adoption, fear paralyzed me for a long time, do yourself a favor and give her a call, do a consultation, you will not be disappointed. Christina healed my family, she is a blessing that I will forever be grateful for. 

Jordan King11/4/2023

Right away we felt comfortable with Christina. She showed genuine care and compassion in our unborn infant adoption case. We took the plunge and hired her. Christina walked us through the process, advised us to avoid certain visitation legal pitfalls, was always responsive, and drew up all the necessary legal requirements for a complicated adoption. Her pricing was very reasonable. Everything went off without a hitch, we adopted our son without issue, and he's the light of our lives! Thank you, Christina.

David10/3/2020

We went through Christina for the final phase of our adoption to finalize it. She made things go so smoothly. Anyone going through the adoption process knows how long and stressful it can be, and the process was for us! But Christina got all the documents she needed from our adoption agency and put together the finalization and I didn't have to go searching for documents or contacting a bunch of people. Working with her was amazing! 

Sarah Turner9/19/2023

Christina was absolutely wonderful facilitating the adoption process that helped complete our family. Communication was great and her knowledge and understanding of the legal adoption world is top notch. She is very personable and I felt like she put her whole heart into our case. I highly recommend Christina!

Elizabeth Johnson9/14/2023

Christina is not only an excellent lawyer but she is highly compassionate and able to apply the right kind of advice and how she delivers it depending on the situation. I think working in this field of law is a calling, and she is definitely called towork with families. I was very fortunate to find her. I trusted her professionalism. She calmed me through some anxious times, while still being very straight-forward and realistic. Because of her i was able to adopt my daughter, who is the greatist joy in my life. There really aren't words to truly express how happy and grateful I am. I think about Christina and my daughter's birth mother and her family daily when i look at my daughter. I hope to use Christina's services again to expand our family!

Rebecca Boucher1/19/2020

Christina and Annelise are simply an incredible, and professional team! My Husband and I went through many incredible years of failed adoptions including great heartache, financial losses, and and even a dirty heartless scam! Christina and Annelise gave incredible support through all of our process. We finally received the call that blessed our lives forever, a beautiful, healthy baby boy! We could not have made it through so well without this professional top notch legal team. My husband and I highly recommend Christina and Annelise to help you through the adoption process.

Eugene Quintana9/10/2023

Wow. There really aren’t words. We had a very complex step parent adoption case that Christina took on. I thought we were looking at a year long battle, Christina got it done in under 3 months. She was on top of everything, called me multiple times just to talk me through everything and get me through some stressful parts. You can tell her care extends beyond the case and truly to your family. If you want someone who truly cares and isn’t afraid of a tough fight, she is it !!! Can’t recommend enough. 

Evann Grealish8/22/2019

Christina was outstanding handling adoption for our two girls. Excellent on walking us through process and explaining what we needed to do. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Rory,KelliAnn,Ruby, Charlotte Rosenbach

Kelli Rosenbach6/14/2023

Christina was a God send to our family! We needed someone to act quickly and aggressively, someone who was willing to take a few risks and that’s what we got. We got an attorney who saw a quick solution to multiple challenges. She did not even blink while hitting them head on. We’re pleased to say our adoption went as fast and as painless as possible. Christina is thorough and proactive. She was able to maintain her professional demeanor while being fully invested in our case. We appreciate her immensely! 

Sarah Hacker4/23/2019

If I could rate Christina Sherman and her team 10 stars, i absolutely would! Adoption is such an emotional rollercoaster already, and the legal part is extremely daunting. Christina and her team were a dream to work with. They got the interstate compact done in record time so I could travel home with my precious new son, and followed up with all the adoption paperwork quickly and efficiently, and I didn't have to do or worry about anything. The full adoption was complete within just a couple months, and they even set up a beautiful court ceremony for me and my family! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to anyone looking for an adoption attorney - they are hands down the best!!! On top of that, Christina and her team were so sweet and nice to work with - it's rare finding those qualities these days! I will absolutely use them again if I am blessed with another child. 

Tanya Agha6/6/2023

If I can put 10 stars I will!!! Christina helped us with our very complicated adoption case and she did it very professionally!! She was very supportive, knowledgeable and extremely helpful! Million THANKS to Christina for being our lawer and help us to have our daughter.

RMAVema Vema4/14/2019

Vincent and I are so grateful for you Christina and Annalise for making this dream come true and for completing my family❤️❤️

Pandora Liufau4/19/2023

Ms. Sherman was extremely professional, swift in all her actions and communications, and was brutally honest with expectations. We hired her for an adoption to where the birth father's whereabouts were unknown. She was very upfront with any and all costs and scenarios. I am so glad we hired her for this. I just wish she did more than adoptions! I'd hire her for all of our other legal needs!
