Ok, I can offer some advice based on what we are going through.
We are filing in Milwaukee County. My daughter's bf has agreed to the adoption and is prepared to terminate his rights. However, for some reason this county is backwards...in order for him to terminate his rights, we have to have the adoption paperwork completed with a home study. The home study is not about you, per say, it is basically to see how your fiance' is with your daughter, and how they interact together. We have an amazing lawyer that has us adopting through Catholic Charities from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. They are very reasonably priced, and the guardian ad litem fee for us was only $500. Altogether with the adoption agency's fees, the guardian ad litem, and our attorney fees, we are looking at about $2000. I would definitely recommend the Catholic Charities; we are Lutheran, and yet they were still more than happy to help us with our situation, because they want what is best for a child. Good luck with your case, and I hope that I have been of a little help to you in this.
