If we move to a state that allow second parent adoptions after we finalize in our current state, can we peruse this option?

In most cases yes. Actually the Wing-Kovarik’s also encountered this situation. They started their adoption in a state which did not allow them both to jointly adopt and did not allow second parent adoption. We suggest that once you’re settled in the new state, or if you know the state you may be moving to, contact an adoption lawyer in that state. In the case of the Wing-Kovarik’s , just before starting their home study they took a job transfer to Washington, which does allow for joint adoption.
