FAQs

Who can adopt?

In Tennessee, anyone over 18 can be a prospective adoptive parent as long as they have been a resident of the state for at least six months. This includes United States Citizens, non-citizens, single people, married people, and gay or straight people!

Are open adoption or post-adoption contact agreements legally enforceable in Tennessee?

Yes, post-adoption contact agreements ("PACAs") are legally enforceable. PACAs are agreements between adoptive parents and birth parents regarding the flow of information about a child and are extremely customizable. They can be as broad or narrow as the parties choose.

Can I adopt an infant from DCS?

Yes, adopting an infant from DCS is possible, although it may not be likely. Generally, birth mothers don't surrender their newborns to DCS, but have adoption plans in place. If they do, the infants are usually placed into foster care, and the foster family or kinship family has priority for adoption.

Who may not adopt?

Generally, the law does not restrict most individuals from adopting a child. However, some circumstances will prevent a person from adopting: An unmarried couple cannot adopt the same child; Dead people cannot adopt; One person in a marriage cannot adopt a child without the other spouse also adopting the child; and, Being unrelated and not getting a home study.
