about how to adopt in
In Delaware, any adult over the age of 21 may adopt. The adopting family can provide financial support for the birth mom’s unreimbursed medical, legal and counseling expenses. A birth mother can consent to adoption any time after birth. Consent is irrevocable 14 days after signing. Of note, adoption is not final until 6 months of home residency has occurred. Fun fact: With an average altitude of 60 feet above sea level, Delaware is the lowest state.
