about how to adopt in
In New York, any adult or married couple filing jointly (with some exceptions) may adopt. Adopting families may provide financial assistance to the birth mom for unreimbursed medical, legal, counseling and living expenses. Birth parent(s) may consent to adoption at any time. Consent is irrevocable 45 days after signing for a private adoption and generally 30 days after signing for an agency adoption. Adoptive parents may contest the revocation in a hearing before the court. Fun fact: Seneca Falls held the first Women's RIght Convention in 1848.
