Starting Adoption Process: NY
Hello everyone. Very glad to have found this forum for the wisdom that it contains.

We're just starting the process.

If you were us, what are the first steps you'd take? For instance, should we schedule a home study as soon as possible, contact an attorney, etc?

Thanks much!

The first step you take depends on what form of adoption you are interested in. Private Domestic, Public Domestic (AKA Foster/Adopt or Straight adopt from fostercare), International. Which one are you interested in?
