The adoption process entails much to consider, which is why our firm is here to handle the legal side of bringing your child home.
What Are Georgia's Requirements To Adopt?
Although Georgia's checklist appears long, it is entirely achievable. There are basic requirements all individuals must meet before they can adopt, regardless of the type of adoption you're pursuing. According to the state of Georgia, you must:
- Be at least 25 years old and 10 years older than the child if single
- Be at least 10 years older than the child if married
- Pass a criminal background check
- Complete a home evaluation
While the list above is fairly comprehensive, it does not take into account the extensive paperwork you are required to complete. Many families are deterred by the documents they will be faced with, but you do not have to go through it alone. Together we can tackle each form as it arrives and ensure that everything is filled out correctly and authentically.
