WARNING!
Certain persons and businesses charge money for
the purpose of finding a child for you to adopt. Don’t do it!
Like most states,
Adoption facilitators can be very expensive. They may be
unprofessional in their dealings with birthparents. You are taking your chances
that they will even find a child after receiving your payment. Any fees you pay
must be reported to the court; payment of illegal fees might cause
problems in getting the adoption approved. Criminal action against you could
also result.
Be sure your adoption source is legitimate. Licensed
adoption agencies and attorneys with adoption experience are the best
resources.
