Understanding Florida Adoption Laws

Florida’s adoption laws are designed to protect your rights as a birthmother and ensure a smooth, ethical adoption. Here’s a brief overview:

• Consent Timeline: In Florida, you can legally consent to adoption 48 hours after your baby’s birth or when you’re discharged from the hospital.
• Irrevocability of Consent: Once you consent to the adoption, it is usually permanent, unless it can be proven that your consent was obtained through fraud or duress.
• Open Adoption Options: Florida supports open adoption agreements, allowing you to maintain the level of contact you desire with the adoptive family and your child.
• Adoption Financial Assistance: Florida law allows prospective birthmothers to receive financial assistance for reasonable pregnancy-related expenses through six weeks after the delivery.
