Domestic Requirements vary State to State but usually are:
Both married couples and singles can adopt, who are younger than 65 years or older than 21 years, with less than 55 years difference to the child. No more than three previous divorces are acceptable and parents must not have a major criminal record although we will review every situation. Applicants must not have a major life threatening medical illness or severe mental health diagnoses at the time of the application. Household income must at least $35,000 or more. At least one of the adoptive parents must be a U.S. Citizen. You must be willing to take a 30 hour parenting course in person or by internet, and be a full time resident of Florida. As the rules vary slightly from State to State, simply ask our Adoption Director to tell you the specific state rules for your situation if you have cause to be concerned about a particular state when inquiring on a child.
Eligibility by residency. Approximately 17 States, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands require that petitioners for adoption be State residents.3 The required period of residency ranges from 60 days to 1 year. There are exceptions to the residency requirement in some States. For example, in South Carolina and Indiana, a nonresident can adopt a child with special needs; in Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Rhode Island, a nonresident may adopt through an agency.
