My name is Aaron. This is Angel. I’ve raised Angel since she was 1.5 years old. She’s now 8.5! She wants me to adopt her, and I want to! Her mom and I are going through divorce, but she’s giving me the chance to adopt Angel first. Unfortunately, my attorney wants $3,500 to help with the adoption. Please help me in “officializing” my parental status. I will always be there for Angel no matter what, but this would help ensure I could take care of her should anything come up.
