No, you can't "just do the paperwork" to accomplish correctly the adoption of a live human being; in this case, apparently, your granddaughter.

Better see one of the low cost legal services providers in your area to

determine whether you can qualify for the assistance of one of their

attorneys who knows something about correctly handling adoption matters in the Commonwealth.
