Can you adopt a baby if you don't have a house?!?
Find answers to your legal question.





Can you adopt a baby if you don't have a house?!?

If you live in a 3 bedroom apartment because real estate is a fortune, can you adopt a baby?! or will they turn you down?

You certainly wouldn't be turned down by the state for that reason, if you decided to adopt a child waiting in foster care. I recommend that option, because those children very much need homes.

Individual private agencies have different policies, so there's no guarantee there, but I wouldn't imagine it would be an issue for the majority of them.

Three bedrooms is plenty of space for a small family. Whether it's a house or apartment isn't likely to be a problem.


Mom to Foster Children
Rent / Own
House / Apartment

Doesn't matter as long as you can afford to raise the children without the monthly stipend.

It makes no difference if you live in an apartment or a house, as long as it is clean, safe and suitable for your family size. I know of one family not too far from me who lives in a double wide trailer and they were able to adopt. They take foster parent training with us from time to time.

Nope. If you rent or own your house or live in an apartment, condo or house, you will not be turned down because of that. I have a friend who adopted a baby and she lives in an apartment.

However, there are other requirements.
