Question
Hi im 18 years old and want to adopt now so were do i go to get imformation on young people wanting to adopt and what agency

Answer
There is NO agency that can or will legally etc work with someone your age. You must be at least 21 or older depending on state laws and even then you must be old enough for a birthmom to choose you as well as financially stable. Most 18 year olds have not even gotten thru high school or college yet so do not have the financial resources to adopt. Why adopt so young? I do not know of any private or state agency that will even talk to you as your not of age to even foster. Best wishes
