It is not mandatory that you use an attorney. You can even do it yourself. But I am pretty sure a paralegal cannot represent you in court. I would second the previous poster. I know people hate attorneys but usually the people who hate them the most are the people who end up paying them after something has happened that could have been avoided if they had just consulted with an attorney beforehand.
An attorney for just finalization should not cost very much in relation to total adoption costs. I would expect less than $1000.
