Ep. 88 - Attorney Terri Odom Navigates the Joys and Challenges of the Adoption Process

Terri Odom’s heart of her adoption practice is to lovingly guide others through the challenging and risky roller coaster ride of adopting a child. As an attorney at Odom-Saska Adoptions, LLC, Terri has been practicing adoption law in Louisiana since 1986. She works with families through the entire process including filing the legal documents to facilitate the finalization of adoptions by the court. She works with her daughter Emily Saska on a wide-variety of adoptions ranging from private, intra-family, state agency, and adult adoptions. These women also tag team to look out for scams. Their website tagline that really tugs at the heart strings is “If you’re not ready to be a parent, we know people who are.”
