I think you need an attorney. I would also recommend getting an attorney that specializes in adoption. Those cases that you hear about something going bad is almost always a legal issue that didn't get done right. The 2 main issues I've heard of are 1. birthfather notification and relinquishment of rights and 2.covering birthmother expenses. The second item is tricky since you don't want the courts to think that you covering expenses could be translated into bribery or "buying" the baby. The piece of mind knowing that you will be able to keep your child forever is worth every penny of an attorney's fees. Good luck!
