about how to adopt in

In Mississippi, any adult who has lived in the state for at least six months may adopt, and married couples must file jointly. Adopting families can provide financial support to the birth mother for anything connected with the pregnancy, birth or adoption process. Birth parent(s) may consent to adoption 72 hours after birth. Consent is irrevocable upon signing. Fun fact: The Magnolia State is home to B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and many more.
