we did a kinship adoption last year. it was quite simple in our case, because the kids hadnt gone into foster care yet. the laywer went to the prison to get the living parent (one parent died - drugs) to sign parental rights over to me and 10 minutes in court and it was done. but i want to warn you that times will be tough. i just thought that i could be her aunt turned into mommy and love her and everything would be great. it has been tough. were talking attachment disorder and i can almost guarantee that your new daughter will have some attachment problems. it just happens. not to scare you, because things are good now and always getting better. pay attention to the classes. youll need the knowledge later. AND get your new little girl into counseling immediately. we took our 2 kids to play therapy and then attachment therapy and it helps tons!
