Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone knew if its require by law to have an attorney by law in the state of Ca. Im wondering if theres a do it yourself adoption option? My sister just passed away in sept. and left behind my 1 yr. old niece. She was a single mom so theres no dad. I want to keep cost down because the funeral expenses left us practically broke. Do I even need an agency? I know I have to get a homestudy done is that only thru an agency? Im just about to get started with the process but very confused on how to get start. My niece is already with us I just want to make it all legal that she's ours.
Any input would help greatly. Thanks
