She actually CARES about her clients and is the most knowledgeable lawyer I've ever met! She builds a great rapport with her clients and the judges/courts and did such an amazing job for us in our adoption. Would recommend her to EVERYONE!!!

Attorney Barbara Ginn just finalized a long-contested adoption case which finally concluded in my favor. I was overwhelmed with joy! From start to finish she kept me informed with updates on my case. She was very caring, empathetic, kind, patient, and understanding. I always felt at ease when speaking with her about any concerns or questions I may have had. She was detailed and took the time to explain things making sure that I understood. Attorney Barbara Ginn is amazing. She was attentive to my needs, I was treated with courtesy and professionalism, and the service was impeccable!!! I would highly recommend her for anyone needing an adoption attorney. Attorney Ginn is truly an angel such a nice lady! Thank you so much for your assistance in our adoption journey!!!!

In early 2021, I made one of my best decisions ever in retaining Barbara Thornell Ginn's law firm to represent me in the adoption of my stepson, whose life I entered in 2015 and whom I had raised since he was 18 months old. Barbara was assigned to my case at the time and guided my wife and I through all of our available options from day one. Mine was a very complicated case as there was pending litigation involving my wife, the child's mother, outside of Florida that had yet to be resolved. Barbara was able to confer with our out-of-state lawyer who had been retained three years prior to represent my wife in that matter. She never missed a beat. She and our out-of-state lawyer colloborated and conferred regularly, developing a very effective approach in the best interests of the child. One of the many issues in dispute involved jurisdiction over the child and the two, semi-conflicting cases. Ultimately, the two involved judges conferred and agreed with Barbara's approach. After two years of due diligence, coordination, hard work, and extraordinary legal acumen by Barbara and her firm, I was awarded the adoption of MY son (who is now nine years old) in late February. As mentioned, the hiring of Barbara was an excellent decision, and I could not be more pleased with her and her firm's representation throughout the entire process. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking an adoption here in Florida. I am forever indebted to her for her excellent service!

Barb helped us out a little over three years ago. We were adopting right before Christmas and Barb was incredibly helpful and on top of everything. She repeatedly helped us late into the night often working until past 10:00pm in a rush to get everything completed onto time for us to get back home rather then having to spend the holidays away from home. We were able to get our beautiful daughter back in time for Christmas. Barb is truly amazing and is all about taking care of her customers. We are extremely proud and very lucky to be able to do this a second time with her. I strongly recommend her for all of your adoption needs. Again, she is absolutely incredible.

Unbelievable support and kindness! Helped us through an adoption that would have been more difficult if it wasn't for her experience, wisdom, and preparedness. We also never felt overlooked or forgotten. We highly recommend her.

Heart of Adoptions was recommended to us while we were searching for an adoption attorney to tackle our complex and challenging adoption situation. Several attorneys we had met with previously were hesitant or unwilling to take our case. However, when we spoke with Barbara, she was not only willing to take on our case but she was also straightforward about what we could expect. She tackled the challenges of our case with diligence, and her thorough work ensured that no potential problems were overlooked. She answered our questions clearly, compassionately, and promptly. Despite inevitable delays in the legal system, Barbara was always actively seeking to move our case forward. We just had the immense joy of being able to finalize our adoption, and we are incredibly thankful for all that Barbara did to make that possible. We would wholeheartedly recommend her as an attorney.

This group is hands down one of the best professional experiences anyone will ever have! Highly recommended!

Barbara has represented my family in several adoptions. Barbara is as sharp as a tack and the epitome of what an adoption attorney should be. She answered every question we had and made sure that we understood the entire legal process from the initial filing to the final adoption. Barbara knows the law, has the respect of the legal community and the Judges. There quite honestly is no attorney better than Barbara. Barbara is a gem to work with. I cannot say enough positive and good things about her. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through the process or even contemplating going through the process. You will absolutely be amazed at the legal knowledge and prowess she has. Absolutely amazing.!!!!

We were adoptive parents and Barbara helped us navigate through all the in and outs of the process. She is well informed in the laws and if there is a snag she knows what to do. We will refer her to anyone who is adopting.

Barbara made our adoption finalization a breeze. We highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, professional, and kind. She takes the time explain every step of the process.

I was very pleased with work she did on our adoption case and would recommend her for anyone. We even hired her for our second adoption because the service was excellent. She worked quickly and thoroughly to resolve any issues and communicated promptly with us anytime we called or emailed with questions. Our case was finished even earlier than expected which was the best gift for our family and I know it only happened because of her hard work and dedication.

She is excellent. Very knowledgeable. Not only does she know the system and what needs to be done for an adoption she also has experienced the anxiety and pain of what goes on as a adoptive mother. Highly recommend
