about how to adopt in
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.
