Many individuals choose to adopt for a number of different reasons. Traditional adoption has long been favored by both those who are unable to conceive and by those who wish to help a child in need. Under Iowa law, any “fit” adult may adopt a child. This means that married couples, domestic partners, and single individuals of either gender are eligible to adopt a child. So long as the prospective parent can prove their ability to care for the child, anyone is able to adopt in Iowa.
The legal aspects of adoption can be tricky, but they absolutely must be taken care of during the process. An adoption attorney is not only recommended, but also in many cases needed, to complete an adoption in Iowa.
