You can probably do it yourself since not only is it not contested, there is not a big rush so if you make a mistake, you can just resubmit. You can find the forms online and because it is a step-parent adoption, there is no need for a home investigation. Good luck, if you decide not to do it yourself, give me an email and we will set up an appointment.
