IMO, you can't afford not to have one. You already know how expensive even a short stay in a treatment center is, and that's what you are already fighting the state(s) about.

You also said your daughter's problems are almost as severe as your son's. If you can delay finalizing, it seems like it would be prudent to put that off till the last possible day you can.

Is there a free or inexpensive public attorney somewhere in your area that could help you? Ask your local adoption worker first for ideas. She or he may know of someone, or may even be able to help you read through the terms of the subsidy agreement. Look in the phone book under county and/or state services and see if there is a listing for legal aid or something like that. Or just call the main number and ask if there is any low-cost legal help available.

Good luck.
