The NC Bar Association has a free lawyer referral service available at www.ncbar.org. Attorneys who agree to consult with clients under the program agree to limit their fee to $30 for a thirty minute consultation.
DSS may help you with this but I doubt it unless the parents are willing to place the child in their care. There is more to it than just this paperwork. You need to also file a petition for adoption as a special proceeding in the Clerk's Office. I strongly suggest you hire an attorney to help you with this.
