“Look deeper into it instead of just being like, ‘OK, that’s what it is. She’s trying to sell her child — screw that,’ you know. It’s not like that,” she said.

Hill said she doesn’t know much about adoption. She said the attorneys she called to help her told her it would be $600 or $1,200 per hour.
