Jorge Herrera y Lill Bloise

Five years ago my husband and I decided to put ourselves on the waiting list to adopt in the Dominican Republic. At that time we lived there, but as the years passed we decided to move to the United States. Just 2 days after relocating we were called to assign our son. It was a very happy moment but at the same time of great anxiety and concern because we did not know the international adoption process. We had to give an answer and start the international adoption process immediately so that we could go soon as a family to our new home in the USA. In the midst of all the confusion and chaos we met Madelaine, a professional with a big heart, ethics and highly qualified to handle a case like ours.
She gave us hope that it was possible to receive our son and exhaust all the necessary legal steps if we did things the right way. It was a long process, accompanied by a pandemic that made it much longer, but Madelaine always made sure that we felt accompanied 24/7, aware of the risks and our options. Definitely after the arrival of our son, Madelaine was the other blessing that came into our lives at the moment we needed him most.

Time passes so quickly after bringing your child home. It’s hard to believe it’s been been 3.5 years since we got our precious boy and a little over 3 since we returned home from the country we fell in LOVE with!!

The Dominican Republic stole our hearts while we were there. The friendships we made, the beauty of God’s creation, the friendly, welcoming embrace of the people, delicious food, and amazing weather! We absolutely left part of our hearts there.

We would absolutely encourage anyone to explore adoption from the DR. We pray that one day God allows us to return to adopt again, in His perfect timing.

Madelaine was a lifesaver. She knew every step of the process, who to talk with, what needed to be done and would advocate on our behalf as well as interpret for us as needed. She is friendly, intelligent, easy to talk with, and VERY organized! She is a fabulous attorney, knowledgeable & patient. She helped us tremendously during our time in the country and we highly recommend her!

We highly recommend Adoptiva for your adoption needs. We adopted our two girls from an orphanage in La Ramona in 2013. Madelaine Vinas was extremely instrumental in helping us navigate the process of our adoption. She is a very skilled attorney who cares for her clients and works passionately to see families come to together through adoption. Her heart and passion show in her work ethic and are vital in the process of adoption. We will forever be grateful for the role she played in bringing our girls to their
forever home.

When my husband and I arrived in the Dominican Republic in October of 2019, we were unsure of what to expect as we arrived with our 4 biological children excited to adopt a little girl. Madelaine was the first person to meet with us, and she took her time giving us all the information we needed and answering all our questions. She made us feel at peace knowing that she would be working on our behalf to make this process as smooth as possible. 

Madelaine was incredibly helpful and supportive to our family every step of the way. She genuinely cares about the wellbeing of both the adoptive family and the child. Many times, Madelaine went out of her way to assist us when we needed it. She is very knowledgeable in adoption proceedings and requirements and worked endlessly to make our process move as quickly as possible.

One of my favorite things about Madelaine is that this is not just a job to her. It is her passion, and it is clear that her joy is found in connecting children to their forever families. I felt so blessed to have Madelaine by our side throughout our time in the DR.  I would absolutely use Madelaine again and would highly recommend her to any family considering adoption in the Dominican Republic. Her expertise and skill far exceeded our expectations. She is knowledgeable, equipped, and prepared to work for the benefit of the child and family. I am so grateful for Madelaine and know that she will always be a part of our story. Cristiana Boyer
