I have received notice that someone is trying to adopt my child and I do not want that to happen, but I cannot afford an attorney; what can I do?
As the legal parent, you may have the right to a court-appointed attorney if you cannot afford to hire one. YOU MUST GO TO COURT AT THE TIME AND PLACE SHOWN ON THE NOTICE AND ASK THE JUDGE TO APPOINT AN ATTORNEY. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR WHERE TO GO, CALL 312.603.5536 FOR INFORMATION.
