Re: adopting my nephew

Adoption is not an easy process and the ramnifications if things are not done properly are significant. This situation is now further complicated because of the Child Protective Services being involved. You should contact an attorney.

If you do not have an attorney, feel free to contact me and I will arrange for you to meet with an attorney in Indianapolis.

Good luck, either way.
