private adoption
Hi, I am very new to this. My husband and I will be adopting a baby due in September. The birth mom is 16 and has chosen us to adopt her baby. We are very excited but a little unsure of what the next step is. I was told that we would have to have a home study done and that it could cost up to 1500$ We are not going thru any agencies, she has a lawyer and we will be signing papers over the next couple of weeks. Can anyone give us some info?? I read the home study can take several months.... Do we still have to have one done even if it's a private adoption??
