we have been blessed with a little girl due dec 12
Adoption is not that simple. You are going to need to have a homestudy done and the BM is going to need to have counseling. Depending on the state that you are in (or where the BM is located) she will either have to do counseling before/and or after the birth so that she is made clear of what she is doing. This is something that is law and she can't sign the TPR until it has been done. I would consult/retain a good ADOPTION lawyer. Make sure tha they are apart of the adotion lawyer college....

I hope your adoption is successful but adoption is never easy....
