about how to adopt in
In Tennessee, any adult 18 and older who has lived in the state for 6 months may adopt, and married couples must file jointly. Adopting families may provide financial assistance to the birth mom for unreimbursed medical, legal, counseling and living expenses. Birth parent(s) may generally consent to adoption 3 days after birth. Consent becomes irrevocable 10 days after signing. Fun fact: Tennessee is the home of Graceland, the Grand Ol Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
