It’s critical to have an attorney involved in the process because you want to know that your child will be safe and loved when placed with their adoptive family. Having an attorney, such as myself, who’s been practicing in this field for over 35 years and does extensive background and home study searches on the families, is a much safer way to go about the process.
Unfortunately, there is a black market where people offer large sums of money for a child. When you forgo an attorney, you don’t know if your child will be safe or end up in something terrible like a trafficking ring. Retaining an attorney is also vital as we can provide you with living expenses, medical care, and the things you need to have a healthy pregnancy and child.
