Possible adoption from Florida
Does anyone know anything about the adoption laws in Florida?
We have been asked to think about adopting a newborn from there. He is due to be born in 4 weeks. We are being told mother and father will sign. It seems scary to have such a long distance match in which you have to get in a plane and fly to the baby and mother. We already had two failed placements at birth. I would hate to go there and fly home without a child. Do you fly after the birth? Anyone have any insight in the laws there? Is this very risky? I believe we would need to use an attorney and not our agency as our agency is not located down there. Would we need an attorney there and in our home state? I just don't know how it all works.
Can anyone provide any insight?
