Mississippi

We have not yet read Mississippi's rules against the state's own forms and instructions, so this page does not list a deadline, a form, an address, a notary requirement or a fee. A page that guessed at those would be worse than no page: a father acts on what is printed.

Some states measure their deadline in days, and in some the deadline runs from an event a father cannot see, such as the mother signing a consent. Where an adoption is possible, every day of waiting is a day some states do not give back.
