My step-son, that has been with me since he was 6 (he's now 31 years old), came to me on Father's day and asked that I formally adopt him...I'm pretty excited to say the least. The process for an adult adoption is very straight-forward, basically just filing the paperwork. I have not used a lawyer since I've been in Georgia so I really have no contacts. Rather than going through the yellow pages (if they were actually still a 'thing') I thought that maybe someone on this site could make a recommend a lawyer that wouldn't take advantage financially. My son wants to pay for it and the first lawyer he contacted wanted a $2,500.00 retainer just to submit the paperwork, this may be standard but I wanted to make sure. I would appreciate any help you could provide!!
Thanks in advance,
Corey
