Can anyone refer me to an attorney that can help me PRO BONO with my adoption case in Chicago?

Question

We want to adopt a child in the DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) system of Chicago and need an attorney for the adoption. I didn't realize this until today and we need all the money we have saved for the rest of the proceedings. We really want to help a child in need.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You're gonna get $10,500 tax credit - that ought to cover it.

Is it me or do lots of adoptive parents want handouts

Answer 3

don't be so cheap kids r expensive. get used to it

Answer 4

Get a loan.  Talk to the caseworker you're working with and see what financial options there are.  We might find ourselves in the same boat one day (which reminds me, we really need to poke at that social worker to get us some answers!), so I feel you!
