Georgia adoption

Adoption is the legal process of permanently welcoming a child into your family. Once an adoption is finalized in Georgia, the adopted child has the same legal rights and status as a child born into the family, including inheritance and parental protections.

If you are considering adoption in Georgia, state law requires prospective parents to meet certain qualifications. Single applicants must be at least 25 years old and at least 10 years older than the child they wish to adopt. Married applicants must also be at least 10 years older than the child. In addition, adoptive parents must demonstrate the ability and willingness to care for a child both financially and physically, and must make an unconditional commitment to support the child’s physical, emotional, medical, psychological, and social well-being.

Georgia adoption laws recognize that families come in many forms. You do not have to be married to adopt, and today many children are placed with single parents, same-sex parents, and older parents. As family structures evolve, Georgia’s adoption laws continue to reflect these changes.

At Jaffe Family Law, we assist clients with a wide range of Georgia adoptions, including stepparent and relative adoptions (such as grandparent, aunt, or uncle adoptions), third-party adoptions, adult adoptions, and agency adoptions through the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS).
