This is Annie, she has not been able to live with her biological mom (my sister) since birth. Her biological mom has been in and out of prison for Annie's entire life. My husband and I have been the sole support for Annie since she was born. My sister has 4 other children, 3 of which she has had her right's terminated from. We have been trying to provide the best and most stable environment for Annie to live and thrive for the last 12 years. We have tried to work with my sister to have her give up her rights so we can adopt Annie but she has refused. We really feel that it is in Annie's best interest for us to adopt her and make sure that she can continue to thrive in a loving household. So at this point, we are asking for help to hire a lawyer to terminate my sister's rights and allow us to adopt Annie. The retainer alone is $5,000. Any help would be appreciated even if it is just to share this post. Thank you for your willingness to help us provide for Annie.
