We LISTEN to your family building goals, EDUCATE you about the law, and provide you with OPTIONS. Adoption and Assisted Reproduction may sound simple online, but they involve a complex legal process. I am a native Tucsonan and am committed to the community I call home while also serving all of Arizona.
I'm proud to be the only Fellow of the Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys in Southern Arizona, encompassing Pima, Pinal, Cochise, Santa Cruz, Graham, and Greenlee counties. Adoption and assisted reproduction aren't everyday practice areas for family law/divorce attorneys, but they are for us.

Services
I am focused on the people who come to my office-not the cases. There are so many variables in building families through adoption and assisted reproduction. Every birth mother, child, adoptive family, and intended family has a unique story that brought them to my door. I respect those personal stories while creating the legal structure for the family.
Foster care is a wonderful way to serve the most vulnerable children in our community and possibly grow your family. Our community always needs more qualified, loving foster homes to provide a safe and nurturing environment for Arizona's children. However, any decision to bring a child into your home, even if just temporarily, requires careful thought and consideration.
We feel privileged to work on several hundred foster care adoptions every year. We promise to complete your foster care adoption legally, ethically, and as efficiently as possible. Foster parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and other relatives have all opened their hearts to Arizona's children in need, helping them find a place in the world that's truly permanent.
Whether you are a current foster family or a hopeful parent considering adoption, understanding the pros and cons of foster care will help you decide whether this is the best way for you to grow your family. Please contact us with questions. Thousands of Arizona families have been built through the foster care system.

Heather made our adoption process so seamless! She was professional, sweet, and walked us through every step. Her receptionist is also phenomenal! We were informed on every step they took and always kept us updated. When heather called me telling us that my husband could finally adopt my son I heard her smile through the phone. These women are truly the best. Would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

I would greatly recommend Heather Strickland and her team for your adoption. The whole process was so easy and Heather answered all my questions and put my mind at ease about adopting my great-granddaughter. She had all the paperwork ready and the whole process was so smooth. My granddaughter is doing great and we are so happy together. Thank you again Heather for all your work.

Heather Strickland is a gem. Even though I'm several hours away from Tucson, she was happy to work with me and help me understand the legal climate around some exciting things in my future. So supportive, great heart, very honest. I would work with her for any of my needs within her practice's scope.

Heather Strickland met all our needs for two newborn domestic adoptions. She is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made us feel as though we were her most important clients. Even when we had an issue come up after the adoption was final, she gave us her time and a clear, confident explanation. Thank you, MyersStrickland team!
