Re: TPR and ADOPTION
It should be a fairly easy matter to prove to the court that your adoption would be in the best interest of the children. I've seen this happen several times before. If fees are an issue, ask at the district clerk's office where the child welfare cases are held. Visit a couple of those sessions, hang out there in the back a few days, and ask one of the attorneys who works on these cases. Many of those attorneys take a sincere interest in helping children and may offer fee options that you can handle. Good Luck.
