1) i don't know how much.
2) yes, you need a lawyer.
- petition for adoption is not a difficult or complicated process. most of the time it's non-adversarial (walang kalaban) except that the fiscal or prosecutor will appear in behalf of the state.
- you shop for a lawyer. ask a friend. you haggle. mabuti iyung isang bayad lang (acceptance and appearance fees) pero huwag ibayad lahat. for example, 30k yung napagkasunduan, i-3 gives. first payment- 10k nung nagkasundo na kayo ni lawyer. pag na file na- another 10k. kung tapos na yung kaso last payment of 10k. always ask for receipt. yung mga baguhan basta huwag lang tanga di yun masyadong mahal.
- ang filing fee nyan sa korte nasa 3k to 5k.
