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.

Scott goes above and beyond to make sure you get the best results possible. I highly recommend his services if you’re ever in need of them.

- David M.
"Highly Recommend"
Mr. Brannen represented my mom in court. We live out of state and had to drive over 16 hours round trip and he did what was best for us to finish this in one go so that we would not have to return. He is honest and does what he says he will do. His paralegal julie is also helpful and kind.

- Jenna
"Honest, steady, and dedicated"
This review is long overdue. Scott was the best advocate I could have asked for—honest, steady, and dedicated. He never promised results, only that he would work tirelessly on my behalf, and he did. He was always reachable, answered even my simplest questions with patience, and made a complicated process feel manageable. The outcome truly changed my life. I’m deeply grateful for his work.

- Jesse S.
"Profoundly and wholeheartedly grateful"
Words cannot truly capture the depth of gratitude my family and I feel for Mr. Brannen. He went above and beyond to bring us peace during some of the most frightening moments. His calm guidance, constant updates, and thoughtful advice on the best steps to take gave us strength when we needed it most. Somehow, he managed to work toward exactly what my family and I had been praying for over the past six months. Though I wish I could share every detail, what I can say with certainty is that we are profoundly and wholeheartedly grateful to Mr. Brannen.
