Can babies be taken from other states and brought to Iowa for adoption?

January 13, 2005

I was wondering if I could have been born in another state and brought to Iowa by Lutheran Family Services to be adopted? In my info I have no hospital is listed...only the name of the city of Lutheran Family Services as my birth city. My adoptive parents lived hours from there, but went there after a phone a baby was ready for them. Just wondering...

I had a little girl born in Nebraska in 1983. I gave her up in Iowa. I personally had to take her across the state line to the attorneys office. Not sure if that is true of all adoptions going over state lines.
