In Iowa, any adult or married couple filing jointly (with some exceptions) may adopt. Adopting families may cover the birth mom’s unreimbursed medical, counseling and living expenses. A birth mom may consent to adoption 72 hours after birth. Consent is irrevocable 96 hours after signing, unless under duress, fraud or misrepresentation. Fun fact: The red delicious apple originated in Iowa.
