My friend wants me to adopt her baby do we need to see a lawyer to start the process?

Question

My friend wants me to adopt her baby do we need to see a lawyer to start the process?



Answer

Yes.

You'd file a petition for termination of the natural parents' rights and for adoption of the child by you (one petition). A social study is required, and the court will appoint an attorney ad litem for the child.
