[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contact Jennifer Fairfax. She’s an adoption lawyer. But just know that your sister could change her mind before the birth. If you can handle a roller coaster, you will either have a child or a niece or nephew. It’s a lot to ask but she’s your sister and in a bad place. [/quote]

2nd this recommendation.  She is the best around - we tried several.  However, if your sister and birthfather consent you could file and DIY it.[/quote]

They both consent. Neither of them wants to be a parent. My sister hasn't been very stable for a few years. I suspect drugs are involved. [/quote]

It would be a very easy, clean adoption if they consent.  You go to court and get temporary guardianship so you can put baby on your health insurance and then file for adoption.  We finalized our adoption in a few months with Jennifer Fairfax.  But, you also may need a home study but some states may waive it because you are a relative.  Some courts can also provide one but it will take much longer to finalize the adoption.  There is an adoption tax credit to get some of your expenses refunded but you have to pay upfront.[/quote]
