Adoption- Do i hold to dance thru an agency to adopt the child of someone who doesn't want their kid?

An 18 year old friend of my daughter is pregnant and doesn't want her baby. What do i have to do to adopt that babe? Do i have to go thru an agency? Is there a passageway to legally adopt this baby w/o going thru agencies and expensive lawyers?
Your poster #2 is correct. You don't want an agency, but you DO need an attorney. And as well, you may wish a clause contained by that contract, that if this child is not an APGAR 10 (google it) at birth, you may not want to take it on..

We all want that absolutely majority, healthy baby.

Ask around of your friends of any attorney who has have experiences with adoptions, and clauses that would allow you to cancel the traffic if the baby is compromised in any manner Source(s): dad an md.
There's no object for an agency to be involved in a case like this. This would work much better as a private adoption.

All you would entail to do is go through a lawyer (which needn't be expensive). Have him draw up a petition for adoption and present it to the court in your nouns. You'll have to go to a hearing, and the mother of the child may also enjoy to go (depending on the circumstances, the father of the child may also have to be there).

It shouldn't cost you more than a few hundred dollars at most.
you need a legal representative to do those thing. other while Those ppl gave u the answer. Good luck
You don't necessarily need an agency. Agencies are mostly to match babies/mothers to people who want to adopt.

Lawyers are required.
You need to complete a mountain of court papers, and you need a degree freshly to read some of the documents. Laws and requirements vary by where you live, and generally, individual lawyers who specialize in adoption will know all the details.
The judge will ask inherited services to do a home study on your homme first. You will be involved with an agency. The child will have to be with you for 6 months or so. The mother have 2-4 months to decide if she really wants her child to be adopted--she can change her mind.
What you do is find out why she feel she can't parent her baby. What you do is see if you can build her up instead of tearing her down by sniping her baby. You take counseling for her that is unbiased. You make sure she know this is her baby. If after a month or so at home with her baby and she still feel that she isn't enough for her baby, then arrangements can be made to adopt. Anything smaller quantity is unthinkable.

Dimes to dollars, she wants her baby.
you don't need an agency, but you DO need a advocate. SInce it's a mutual agreement, you can use one lawyer.
you are going to inevitability a lawyer to draw up the adoption papers with the court. You dont have to step through an agency though. But you do need an attorney
I was considering giving my daughter up for adoption. I know a couple that couldnt have kids and all they had to do be pass a home study (you can look into how to go about doing that, it may be through social services) and later they got a lawyer (one who specialized in adoption, although it isnt necassary to hold a specialist) to draw up papers. They also adopted their son that way. It's called private adoption and its really nice for cases resembling yours!! Just contact a Lawyer, he may even know how to go about the home study (and you dont have to put a price sticker on the child, as if you were to go through the agency) Source(s): Been in that arena since
You do NOT have to go Thur an agency! Get a Lawyer that does this form of thing. So everything will be legal.
i think so u enjoy to take a test to see if ur crazy and if ur sick or anything so they make sore the babe is in gud hands
You have to travel through an agency.

I was adopted. My parents were neighbors of the girl who get pregnant at 15. They still had to go through an agency, and there are decriminalized fees that have to be paid in command to have the child given to you with permanent custody.

Edit: I don't know why the thumbs down. It's adjectives knowledge you can't just hand a tot to someone and say "here you go, they're yours now"
Answers:    First, I'd envisage, is that you'd need to get the bmom's agreement to allow you to adopt her child. Have you done that part all the same?

Is it that she doesn't want it, or is scared that they're not gonna be able to make it? Either channel, you should have her read these web-links BEFORE she makes her final decision:
