What age can you adopt at?

Question

Its kind of a curiousity question. But I'm still curious what age you can adopt at?

Answer 1

in many states and with many agencies the min age is 21... though some now have a 25 year age min...

Answer 2

The law says 18 but unless there is financial stability and a stable environment...adoption wont happen

Answer 3

You have to be a minimum age of 18.  Agency age requirements differ as do the ages for international adoptions.  I think generally speaking 55 is the oldest age you can adopt.  Most agencies want at least one parent to be under 45.

Answer 4

All agencies have their own age and length of marriage requirements.  If adopting internationally those requirements will also differ among countries.

Answer 5

it could be any age past the age of majority. But your life circumstances are more important than your age.

A nineteen year old may be of age to adopt, but the majority won't be in the mindset or stable enough to provide for a young child that's most likely already experienced trauma in their life.

Answer 6

18 is the minimum age, but there are other rules as well.  Like most states have a rule that there has to be at least a 15 year age gap between the child and the youngest adoptive adult.  So if you are only 18, a 3 year old is the oldest child you would be able to adopt.

Answer 7

when you're old enough to stop putting prepositions at the end of sentences.
