Talk with the attorney that will handle the adoption. That is the only way to know how much it will cost.

Find an attorney who does adoptions. Cost probably around $3000.

The adoptive parents each need to sign waivers and relinquishments. A Guardian ad litem needs to be appointed so that he/she can provide the court with an evaluation. Provided that the biological parents agree and consent to the adoption, it is a relatively straight forward process. You would need to consult your individual attorney to get an estimate of the possible legal fees.
