First, get a lawyer. If you are going to try it without a lawyer, search in a search engine or on your state's court sites to see if the appropriate forms and instructions are posted.

first step for adoption is ALWAYS a lawyer, anything worth doing is worth doing right.

Adoption should never be a do it yourself plan until a lawyer gives you the go ahead to do so.
