testimonials by adoptive parents

What can one say about the person that made their family a reality. Who through her perseverance, dedication, legal skills coupled with her social worker experience, and her compassion, lead the way during our journey. At the beginning, Jodi spoke with us about our lives and our losses, forged a plan, told us to be prepared, that with her things would happen fast, and helped guide us to our perfect match, a child that was destined to be ours, part of our forever family. Throughout the process, Jodi laughed with us, cried with us, and on the day our son was born, rejoiced and celebrated with us. Jodi made herself available to us at all hours of the day and night to talk with us, to quell any concerns or answer any questions. Hard to believe that was almost 15 years ago. After our son was born, I wrote an article about our journey, and in it referred to Jodi as “an Angel in a business suit.” If you are considering adoption or to start or to add to your family, I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend Jodi Rutstein. To boil it down to simply one adjective, she is “Amazing.”

— Tricia and Dan, Adoptive Parents

There are not enough words to express how we feel about Jodi! Love. Gratitude. Admiration. Awe. Jodi gets it done! She brought us the children we were meant to have and she's helped a number of our friends as well!

— Beth, Adoptive Mother

We went to Jodi and her team looking to start our family and we ended up with an extended family through the placement of our son and then again with our daughter. The patience and careful selection process you receive from Jodi and her team comes with love understanding and the best interest of everyone involved. So blessed to have been able to continue an ongoing relationship with Jodi and the love she shows to our family. She completed my family and made our dreams come true twice.

— Emily, Adoptive Mother

Jodi and her team are absolutely amazing. We can't even come up with the words to describe our experience working with Jodi nd her team. Jodi and team are the most caring and wonderful people you'll find - not only do they have incredible experience, but they truly do what they do for the right reason. Throughout our adoption experience, we always felt comfortable knowing that things were happening the way they were supposed to. Even when we had tons of questions, we always got very prompt and detailed responses. Jodi and her team changed our lives in the most beautiful way possible, and we can't thank them enough for everything they do!

— Steven, Adoptive Father

Thank you Jodi! Can we give 50 stars instead of 5? Wow- we don't have the words to express our gratitude. After so many years, as a unified birth and adoptive family, to thank Jodi for what she did for us all- it is impossible. Her compassion, kindness, professionalism, ethics, and support made all the difference in the world. We would not all be a family without her. On weekends, holidays, evenings, even her own birthday, she was there. A Miracle worker. The best in her field. No question. We love you Jodi!!!!!
