Alabama's Consent to
Adoption Law

The consent may be signed any time before or after birth. If the expectant mother is under the age of 19, Alabama state law requires the appointment of a guardian to represent her best interests.This guardian is usually an attorney.

Pre-consents are allowed in the state of Alabama.

Revocation Time Frame in Alabama

The consent may be revoked five days after signing or five days after the birth, if the consent was prebirth. The birth parents have an additional nine days after that to submit a form to the court showing misrepresentation or duress.The consent may also be withdrawn within one year if it was obtained by fraud, duress, mistake or undue influence.
