What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
We have NCP consent and waiver. The petition from my husband of 14 years, my petition and the childs petition. We have the affidavit of Financial responsability, the petition of waiver of 90 days.
What other forms do we need to file this pro se?
I have very serious health issues and we all want to get this done. But, we can't find any information. And the child 16 years old and the family we would like to get done before
something happens to me.  |

I live in the state of Tennessee.
I tried making an appointment with an adoption attorney here. They will not even call back.
I have lung cancer, I don't have the time to wait. For health reasons and because the adoption/family law attorney, will not give me an appointment, or even honor a call back.
I was willing to pay for the service.
We found one in Nashville, but her retainer was tooo high.
I have a very short time. And no one to help. And I guess you are no help either.
Another closed door. |

we get it. you are dying. but here's the thing, this doesn't speed up the court process. you still need an attorney. why risk doing a shoddy job and not have it done correctly. if not done correctly it can be vacated and your child not protected as you thought. keep looking don't stop. you just have to be persistant no matter what.
self pity will not get the job done.

I did, there's only two adoption attorneys in the area where I reside, so we went outside.
the family law attorney we consulted, told me to forget it. Not to bother with it.
Basically, just as rude and incompassionate as you are.
thanks for nothing. |

thanks for nothing. | I'd be so interested to see precisely who was rude to you and where. Quote it.
I think you're just angry and lashing out. 
This is a LEGAL site. Do you want us to LIE to you?

You are rude, and stuck up. Know it all. Hopefully one day you wont find yourself in my shoes. Yes, it is a legal website. Have you heard of the word COMPASSION. I GUESS AND HOPEFULLY, the judge that will handle our case would also look at the motivation behind it.
Thank you anyways. You know sometimes GOD finds a way to put us in our place. I hope
that you are one of them. |

my answers and other's answers, still remain the same. KEEP LOOKING FOR THE ATTORNEY!!
