Georgia Adoption Laws

Adoptions can occur in several ways. Among the variables are private adoptions, domestic adoptions through official adoption agencies, interstate adoptions where the prospective parent or child is from another state, and international adoptions. Each has their own complexities and requirements which our firm can handle.

The following requirements apply to both married and unmarried Georgia residents:

You must be at least 25 years old or else married and living with your spouse
You must be at least 10 years older than the child you wish to adopt
You must have lived in the state for the previous six months
You must have the physical, emotional, and financial ability to have permanent custody of the child

Married couples must file to adopt jointly. The adoption process is completed through the courts, starting with a petition to adopt.

Georgia requires a home study to be done before you can file for adoption. The home study involves at least three separate visits, one of which must be conducted in your home. The study is done to gather important information about your qualifications, including information about your past and current health, your reason for adopting, your finances, your social backgrounds, your ability to adequately parent, your criminal history if any, and more.

"I am grateful to have had his support, guidance, and defense in my case."
I highly recommend Scott Brannen to defend your criminal law case. He and his legal secretary, Paige, are both professional and personal in their communications and interactions. I felt at ease while facing an otherwise uncomfortable situation.

Scott's knowledge of criminal law and legal procedures was evident from the initial consultation through the trial hearing. His prior experience and expertise in his field was clearly demonstrated in his approach and through his strategic responses in court.
He was careful to ensure that he shed light on all critical elements as well as circumstantial aspects of my case.

I am beyond pleased with the outcome of my trial hearing. I am grateful to have had his support, guidance, and defense in my case. I felt was in good hands from the beginning to the end. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I can’t tell you how thankful I am for Mr. Brannen! His calm demeanor, wise council, care and concern go well beyond what a good attorney provides.
