The first step is to schedule an appointment, so that we can get together and discuss the specifics of your situation.
This meeting serves a number of purposes. First, it allows us to understand your specific situation and goals, so that we can determine the best means to meet your adoption objectives.
The meeting also is important so that you can have all your questions answered, as independent adoption is not inexpensive and is not free of risk.
Adoption is not for everyone.
It is important that you understand the adoption process in California before you get deeply involved, in order that you might make an informed decision as to whether independent adoption is the right method of adoption for you.
