interesting question. depends on what you want the atty to do. is the atty going to do the match and what not?
we adopted out of state, and needed attys in both bmom's state and our state to finalize and get all the paperwork for placement complete. for instance, we needed to terminate bdad's rights in Illinois, so we had an illinois atty. That atty was hired by us to do that one thing. we also hired an instate atty to handle the finalization since we finalized in our state.
