Q: I have had my cousin baby since birth( 2 months) she wants me to adopt her, but that's to costly what other options do i
My cousin lives and gave birth in Cleveland ohio does not know who birth father is had drunken one night stand and i am in georgia with child had an attorney she did nothing to the legal extent so i can no longer insure the baby on my health insurance. All i have is a placement agreement with my cousin signature and mine but its not a legal document.
A: You could do a temporary guardianship to take care of insurance. If you want to adopt, you should be able to do so. Just talk to several attorney's about prices. If mom is signing and you don't know who dad is, it shouldn't be that hard.
