HI! We are currently waiting with our China Adoption and my mother called me today stating someone she knows, knows a girl in her 20's that is healthy and going to give birth to a girl in a week and does not want to keep the baby! She said that CPS has been drug testing and watching her (she also gave up a baby a few years ago so that is why they are watching her???), and the girl wants to find a home for the baby in a week! We JUMPED at this chance and we have NO idea where to start. We guess we have to find an adoption attorney here in Texas (She is also in Texas) and have NO idea how much this will run us. I hate to talk about money but we have already paid about $15,000 in our China Adoption fees and just want to make sure we have enough in our savings to cover any attorney fees. My question is can we have all the necessry paperwork completed in the week until she delivers? She is worried the state will take custody of the baby once she delivers if a family is not located. We are beyond thrilled but scared that we do not have enough time to get all our paperwork together. We have a homestudy for our China adoption but it is a year old.....we also have all the clearances and fingerprinting/background checks but they are also over a year old and are not sure if we need to get those renewed and know that this cannot possibly be done in 7 days. I am scared, HELP, any advice is so greatly appreciated!!!
