Where are the kids now? In foster care? You might be able to become their foster parent while you sort out the adoption stuff.

Your best bet is to view this case as a single-parent relative adoption, not as a lesbian-aunt adoption. You won't be able to adopt unles the father gives up his parental rights or the state terminates them.

Call a few other attorneys if your first choice is too busy to take your case.

Try Lambda Legal Defense for more information. They may be able to provide the names of gay-friendly adoption attorneys in Georgia.


Good luck,
Tracey
