If the bio dad consents to the adoption then all you will have to do is pay the necessary investigation fees (usually about 700.00). The whole process can take up to 6 months depending upon the number of adoptions going on. My husband recently adopted my 8yr old son and we did the whole process ourselves because the bio-dad wanted to give up custody. If he didnt then we would have had to get an attorney....$$$$. So, best of luck to you and your family.Jen
