Can I adopt a child?

Question

I am 19 and am haveing problems conceiving a child of my own and have been told by many doctors that there is a great chance that I am infertile. My husband is 27, and we are both ready for children. Am I too young to adopt? What is the process for adoption, and how much can I expect it to cost me?

Answer 1

mabie but wait till u aint got no problems'

Answer 2

In most states the law says 21 but your husband can!!!!

Answer 3

Legally, you can adopt at 18 in most states, if not all.  However, in practice, unless you are adopting a family member, a stepchild or the child of a very close friend, rarely will the judge approve it if one of the couple is under 21.

Answer 4

Personally, you should wait at least another year or two. But thats just me! If you know you and your beloved are ready, then go for it! i want to adopt when i am ready, too. but yes. I would deff. suggest trying for a bit longer. Adopting would be awesome, but wouldn't it just be even more awesome to have one of your own? Don't give up hope just yet! Good Luck!

Answer 5
