Clay is an experienced attorney who has been practicing law since 2008. He is a lifelong Floridian and founded Gulf Coast Adoptions to spend more time with his wife, Cheryl, and to work and focus more on adoptions – something that is near and dear to both their hearts. “Cheryl and I decided to create our own family in 2016 and were determined to do that through adoption. We were blessed to have an opportunity to adopt our daughter, Sloane, that year which has really inspired us both to “pay it forward” and help others with the adoption process, which has been one of the most rewarding aspects of our lives.”
Gulf Coast Adoptions handles all types of private adoptions, including the placement of newborns or infants with adoptive parents. “We remain close to our daughter’s birth parents and know that the decision to place a child for adoption is never an easy one, it’s a selfless decision and one made out of love. We understand that, respect that, and it’s a driving force for us to ensure that the expectant parents and birth parents have the opportunity to hand-select a family they trust and believe will love, cherish, and support their child in the future, as they would themselves.”
Gulf Coast Adoptions also handles step-parent adoptions, relative adoptions, second parent adoptions, kinship adoptions, and adult adoptions.
