kinship adoption (VA)

What is the difference between kinship adoption and non-relative adoption, in terms of the protocols and especially the fees involved? Do the birth parents and adoptive parents need to retain attorneys as would be in a private domestic adoption? Or is there a more streamlined and less costly option available?

Thanks for any insights!
