Adoption without an attorney

My son is 16 years old and his bio father disowned him at the age of 8 and wants to have nothing to do with him. My husband and my son want him to legally change his name and adopt him. His father is not listed on his birth certifacate either. Where can we get paperwork to try and do this on our own without the expense of an attorney. Donna

Or at the very least get them from a good online legal forms company. Rapid Adoption.com - Your Adoption Forms Company ** this company used for example only, no recommendation given
