I think you have to be 18 or older but then again adoption takes alot of time so if your not old enough you could start adopting and most take up to 3 years so I guess that will be alot of time.. I hope you find your perfect child!!!

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows how old you need to be to adopt a child. My husband and I are only 20yrs. old right now and I was adopted and I have wonderful parents. So we were looking into adoption in the future and we weren't sure if there is an age limit. I know fostering requires you to be 21 years of age...
