What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington state
My friend has a 4 month old son, she has asked my husband and myself to adopt him. We would like to do so without an attorney, as we can't currently afford a retaining fee (I have 2 other children, we are mid-renovation, a pregnant dog, and a broken down vehicle we are paying for right now so our bank account is tapped out). The father is unknown and no men have come forward willing to claim him as their son.
She would bring him here from Oklahoma, so we could move forward with the process in Washington state. Any help or guidance would be immensely appreciated.
