FAQs

Can gay and lesbian people adopt in Tennessee?

Yes, they can. There is no prohibition against adoption based on sexuality. However, under Tennesse Law, private adoption agencies can choose only to work with heterosexual couples.

Can single people adopt in Tennessee?

Yes! You can adopt if you're single, married, or divorced. Just keep in mind that if you are married, both you and your spouse need to sign the adoption petition.

Yes, to adopt in Tennessee the parent must live or maintain a regular place of abode in Tennessee at the time of filing the adoption petition. The exceptions to this rule are for: Parents who have received an order of guardianship from a Tennessee court; and Parents who are in the military and stationed outside of Tennessee; but, maintained a regular abode in Tennessee before entry in the military; or, identified Tennessee as their state of legal residence.
