technically, the fees are only what the court will charge to do the paperwork. which can be $300-500 dollars. this will depend on if the both of you know what you are doing legally. an attorney will cost you more obviously. which can range from $5K to 10K. you can have a paralegal prepare all the paperwork for you for maybe $500.00. But it is best you have an attorney do this for you. this way she doesn't come back and try to reclaim her child. Unless you are willing to do a temprary custodial custody for maybe later when the sister decides to grow up.

I believe California is one of the easiest and cheapest states to adopt in. I have heard attorney's fees will be roughly $4,000 to $5,000.
There are probably other fees and costs I am not aware of.
