I guess this is a little off of the subject too, but I have posted things in all the forums I know of and don't get any response, so maybe someone here can help me!?
My cousin has asked me to adopt her baby....this being her 4th child and she is single with three....she can't afford to have another. I agreed since I can't have kids of my own and am over joyed by this. I had the lawyer draw up child custody papers and she signed them and has agreed to sign any other papers I go ahead with such as adoption. She's been really good with this....I have gone to all doctor appts. with her.
I need to know what else I need to do from here!? The lawyer says there is nothing else he can do until the baby is actually here and he files a petition with the clerks office to have the birth certificate changed and the adoption started. Is there anything anyone can do to keep this from happening since it is private and we are family? I guess I'm just a little afraid bc I've not been through the adoption thing before and I really am looking forward to getting this baby!
