My brother was murdered, and his child was born 10 days before his body was found. the child is in states cussody. We paid a lawyer a year ago to get a dna on my dead brother, which the DA office has it, and the little girl. The foster family wants to adopt this little girl, and we want her, or just to see her and know wether or not she is our blood family. It shouldnt take a year to get a dna. We had to pay this lawyer $500- and he keeps telling us different stories like oh I have your brother's dna, when he didnt, then he said the district atty was gone for 8 wks on maternity leave, then he said we finally got the order, Just waiting...well its been 5 months since we were suppose to hear something, he said it would be 4-6 weeks..Can I get my money back, and hire another lawyer? also what if he has waited so long and the child has been adopted? We just want to know if my brother has a child...please help us..thank you all so much for reading all this, just wanted to give you all detai
