Constitution
Adoptions in Tennessee. The state constitution in Tennessee does not prohibit lesbian and gay couples from adopting children.
Attorney General Bob Cooper wrote an opinion - released October 11 - that said same-sex couples are eligible to adopt children as long as the adoption is found to be in the best interest of the child.
The AP reports that the Tennessee Constitution does not mention adoption, and Cooper found there were no current laws that specifically bar gay couples from adopting.
