Hello to everyone. I am new to this board and have come looking for support and possibly some answers to my questions.
My husband and I have been told that we may never be able to have children of our own, so we are starting to look into adoption.
But I don't even know where to start. Do I need to hire a lawyer? Do I contact a local adoption agency directly? How much does an adoption normal cost? How long is the process for adopting a new born? 1 year, 2 years?
What criteria does the adoption agency/lawyers look at? We are up to our eyeballs in credit card debt and my husband only works part-time because he draws disability. I work full time with BCBSSC. Will any of this affect us in trying to adopt a child?
Can anyone help me?
God Bless,
