Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

My husband and I have been asked by a dear friend to adopt her daughter as she can no longer provide for her. I have looked up adoption costs and have found that the fee ranges between 5,000 and 30,000. Would such a straight forward adoption as this require thousands of dollars? Is there a less expensive way besides giving the child up to the state first?

I would recommend that you arrange to consult with a local attorney

who handles adoption matters and who should be able to advise you on the

issues of adoption costs as they may apply to your particular area.
