about how to adopt in
In Maine, any adult over the age of 21 may adopt. Adopting families may cover unreimbursed medical, legal, counseling and reasonable living expenses for the birth mom. A birth mother may consent to adoption 72 hours after birth. Consent is irrevocable 5 days after the consent is executed. Fun fact: Along the coast of Maine, it's possible to see the adorable and rare Atlantic puffin.
