I used Maria for an adoption but I have also consulted with her on other complicated cases in the child welfare system. She always knows how to navigate complex systems and is able to problem solve and come up with creative approaches to issues. I have also worked with Maria on other strategic planning and business issues and I can't recommend her enough. Responsive, compassionate, able to consider multiple perspectives. I will use Maria Bates again and again.

If at all possible, you should avoid this business as she refused to report allegations of her boyfriend sex Her son Trey who is adopted. She also dropped her children off here and refused to pick them back up or drop off any essentials that they needed. I would not use this woman for anything. I originally contacted her for an adoption case in 2010 and all honesty, it was the worst mistake of my life. I truly hope that the children I placed with Maria get the help they need
