Adoption Options

Some Legal Facts

1. In the states of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, both parents need to agree to an adoption plan for the child.
2. A birth mother can still make an adoption plan for the baby if she does not know who the father is.
3. Pregnant women and birth fathers under age 18 need a parent's consent to place their child for adoption.
