about how to adopt in
In South Dakota, any adult or married couple filing jointly (with some exceptions) who has lived in the state for at least 6 months and is at least 10 years older than the child may adopt. Adopting families may provide financial assistance for the birth mom for all court-approved pregnancy-related expenses. Birth parent(s) can consent to adoption 5 days after birth. Consent is irrevocable 30 days after finalization. Fun fact: Custer State Park is home to free-roaming buffalo!
