How do I adopt my stepchild for free?

While adoption itself has costs (court filing fees, background check), you can minimize expenses significantly:

Our service: $349 (vs. $2,500–$5,000+ for an attorney)

This includes all court-ready documents, step-by-step instructions, unlimited support, and a 100% court acceptance guarantee.

Court-related costs you'll have:

• Filing fees: $0–$450 (varies by state/county — some waive fees for low-income families)
• Background check: $50–$100
• Service of process: ~$50

Ways to reduce costs:

• Fee waiver: Ask the court clerk about fee waivers for low-income families
• Legal aid: Some legal aid organizations help with adoption filing fees
• Military families: Installation legal offices may provide free assistance
• Employer benefits: Some employers offer adoption expense reimbursement

Total with our service: $650–$850 (vs. $3,000–$6,000+ with an attorney)

There's no such thing as completely free adoption, but at $349 for professional document preparation, we've made it as affordable as possible. We've been doing this for 25+ years — this is our mission.
