How old do you need to be in order to adopt a child in the state of GA?

Answer 1

Georgia law provides that any adult person 25 years of age or older, or an adult couple married and living together, may adopt a child who is more than ten years younger than both adoptive parents. Each adoptive parent must be a resident of the state of Georgia and must prove he or she is financially, mentally, and physically able to have permanent custody of a child.

For adoptions of a international child, the country of origin often has restrictions for the adoption. The restrictions can involve your marital status, sexual orientation, number of children currently in your household, MAXIMUM age, etc. Usually there isn't a specific minimum age.

If you are serious about adoption, you should contact a local adoption agency who can best answer to your specific situation.
