Our stepparent adoption cost only $50

That was four years ago. Our costs were: the book, copies of birth certificates, marriage licenses, and the divorce decree, and a court filing fee. Our phonebook has a section in the front with county social services. I found "stepparent adoption" as one of the listings. May God bless each and every one of you.
