How Our 3-Step Adoption Process Works
Choose Your State & Start Your Adoption
Click “Start Your Adoption”, create your secure account, choose your state, and complete our
simple online questionnaire. Most families finish this in about 15–20 minutes.
We Prepare Your Court-Ready Documents
Our legal team prepares state-specific, court-ready adoption documents based on your answers
and reviews them for accuracy. You’ll typically receive your full packet by email within about 24 hours.
File with the Court & Finalize Your Adoption
Follow our step-by-step instructions to file, complete any required background checks or home study,
and attend a brief final hearing. Most families complete the court process in around three months,
depending on their state and judge.
What You Get for $325
Your one-time flat fee covers everything you need to file a complete, court-ready stepparent or adult adoption.

- Unlimited changes to your forms at no additional cost
- Step-by-step instructions on how to sign and file your paperwork with the court

There are no hidden fees from us. You’ll only pay your local court’s filing fees when you open your adoption case.
Compare Our Program to Hiring a $5,000 Attorney
Families use our service for the same reason they’d use an attorney — to complete a legal adoption —
but without the high legal fees or confusing paperwork.
| Our Program Flat $325 + $95 each additional child |
Typical Attorney | |
|---|---|---|
| Up-front professional fee | $325 for one child, $95 for each additional child. | Often $4,000–$5,000+ in legal fees for a stepparent adoption. |
| Estimated savings on legal fees | Save approximately $4,000–$5,000 compared to typical attorney fees. | No savings – you pay full attorney fees. |
| Time to receive documents | Full set of court-ready documents usually within 24 hours of submitting your questionnaire. | Varies by office – often days or weeks between consultation and receiving your full document packet. |
| Court timeline after filing | Most families finalize in about 3 months for a minor (adult adoptions are often faster), depending on your state and judge. |
Similar court timeline – the judge and state laws control timing, not whether you use an attorney. |
| Who prepares the paperwork? | Our legal team prepares state-specific, county-specific documents customized to your family, with unlimited revisions if the court requests changes. |
Attorney drafts documents and may bill for additional time if the court requests changes or extra hearings. |
| Support through the process | Step-by-step instructions and ongoing email/phone support until your adoption is finalized. | Attorney support; additional calls or meetings may increase legal fees. |
| Court-acceptance guarantee | 100% court-acceptance money-back guarantee – if the court doesn’t accept our documents, we fix or refund. |
Most attorneys do not offer a money-back guarantee; you pay for their time, not a specific outcome. |

Common Questions About Our Adoption Program
Can we still adopt if the other parent won’t sign or is missing?
Yes. Most of the adoptions we help families complete are without the other parent’s consent.
If the other parent has abandoned the child or their whereabouts are unknown, the court can terminate their
parental rights based on state law and allow you to adopt. We include the documents you need to request service
by publication and guide you through that process.
Do we really not need an attorney to do this?
Correct. Our program is designed so you can complete your stepparent or adult adoption on your own.
We’ve helped tens of thousands of families successfully finalize their adoptions without
paying $4,000–$5,000+ in attorney fees. You handle the filing and court appearances; we handle the
documents and support.
How long does the process take?
We typically prepare your documents within 24 hours of receiving your questionnaire.
Once you file with the court, most stepparent adoptions for minor children are completed in about
three months, while many adult adoptions finish in as little as 3–6 weeks,
depending on your state and judge.
What does the $325 fee cover, and what other costs should we expect?
The $325 covers all of your custom, state-specific adoption documents for
one child, plus email and phone support through the entire process. Each additional child is
only $95. You will also have separate court-related costs such as filing fees, background
checks, and service on the other parent. These usually range around $200–$500, depending
on your state and county.
Can we change the child’s name and get a new birth certificate?
Yes. The adoption process can include a name change for the child, and the court will issue a
new birth certificate showing the adopting parent as a legal parent, just as if the child were
born to you.
Do you help same-sex couples and families who aren’t married?
Yes. We have helped many same-sex couples and families who are not legally married complete
their stepparent or second-parent adoptions, in the states where this is allowed. If you’re unsure about your
state, we can review your situation and let you know what’s possible.
