Can you adopt a baby at the age of 18 in PA?

Really ? & right of course I know .. thank You (:

Yes, technically you can, but I doubt they would give you a child, because one your a teenager, two you aren’t married. They are in the best interest of the child, not you. No offense lol. Just saying, in their eyes, you aren’t providing a stable environment for the child.

Yes, as an adult you would have the same rights as any other adult. You would have to be certified and prove that you are qualified to be a parent. I wouldn’t reccommend anyone adopting at such a young age though. Hold off until your completely settled down.

Yeah, they probably wouldn’t give you a baby though.

I know right lol

How do you certified ? & I know I’m just wondering

But I am married living in an apartment w. My husband lol just kidding but Yeah I am 100 % aware of that I was just wondering lol

I’m 19 and sweetheart I’m telling you that if your thinking about doing so for yourself, I really think you should reconsider. You haven’t even started your life yet. A baby would just hold you back from so much.

I know what You mean

It’s possible, yes. But it’s SO complicated to get granted a child. My sister who lives in a stable home with her husband, can’t get granted a child because her husband has cancer, and to the apodtion agency it looks terrible, but knowing them I would grant them a child anyday. They are the most loving, caring couple i’ve ever known and they want a child so badly, it’s ridiculous. Their only options are adoption and IVF because chemotherapy killed his sperm, but if i could give them a baby, i would. Adoption agencies only see the health issues.

I know & I’m sorry to hear that </3 hopefully they can find a way
