joint adoption

An adoption in which the prospective parents apply as a couple and are approved or rejected as a couple, as opposed to filing separate and individual applications to adopt a child.

• Although the term most often applies to adoption by a married couple, it also applies to an adoption petition by two unmarried partners who are adopting a child.
