What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO
Can someone please explain to me how interstate adoption works? We live in MO and the birth parents live in NE. Our NE lawyer quoted us $1500 for her fees and the MO quoted us $4500. I don't understand why the MO fee is so much higher. She wants us to put $2500 asap into a trust account. Is $4500 within a normal rate for the MO end of it? I would think NE would have more paperwork to do than MO.
Does anyone have a referral for an adoption lawyer that is licensed in MO and NE?
