Our son was born in Dec. 2009 and our agency is just now doing the legal part of having the birth parents rights terminated. This was not included in their agency fee. So we have no idea whatsoever as to what this costs. Then we have finalization costs down the road when that time comes. Right now Im just worried about the termination. Can anyone give me an idea as to what it costs for that part and also for finalization? I am in Texas. Thanks

Thankyou. I did finally ask the attorney and she said they charge $250/hr to do the termination. The birthfathers answer date is tomorrow so its looking like he isnt going to contest so I wouldnt think she has too many hours put in but who knows. Wow, $4500? I had expected the actual finalization to be the more costly fee ours charges a flat fee also of $1412. Weird number I know. Our post placement visits were included in the agency's fee luckily. But then again their fee was $16,000 and I have yet to see what merits that much b/c they havent done much. We have not been happy with our agency at all and are just ready to get this over with. Finalization will be in July. I will be anxious to see what the attorney actually charges us.
