The parent and the step-parent will pay most of the costs associated with a termination of parental rights and step-parent adoption.

The the person terminating their parental rights wants to help with the costs that ok too.

There will be filing fees for 2 lawsuits, ad litem attorney fees to represent the minor child, social study fees and a criminal background check on the person seeking to adopt plus attorney fees.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
