In Virginia, any adult who has lived in the state for 6 months may adopt. Adopting families may cover unreimbursed medical, legal, transportation and living expenses for the birth mom. Birth parent(s) can consent to the adoption 3 days after birth. Consent is irrevocable seven days after signing unless fraud or duress is proven. Fun fact: Earth Day was officially started in Virginia.
