What Are The Requirements For An Adoption In Mississippi?

In order to be able to adopt another individual, a person must be over the age of 21 and have the written consent of the parents or guardian of the person being adopted. If consent is not obtained, a court process will have to occur to attempt to eliminate the parental rights of the unwilling party. Under current Mississippi law, same-sex couples may not adopt. If the individual being adopted is over a certain age, that person must also consent.

No matter what questions you have going into an adoption, we can help. You can rely on us to fully explain the process and all of your options moving forward.
