We want to adopt a child in the DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) system of Chicago and need an attorney for the adoption. I didn’t realize this until today and we need all the money we have saved for the rest of the proceedings. We really want to help a child in need.

During school hours,and was in a convenient store and caught trying to steal a bunch of magazines, cops were called but the owner gave him a warning and did not press charges. How would you react, what punishment would you use?

What type of specialization do adoption lawyers study in school? Is there program just for adoptions or does one need a general law degree with a specialization in adoption?
