The county court has jurisdiction in matters of the adoption of children. Any adult person may adopt any minor child, if he be ten years older than the child, if the child consent and its parents (if living) consent; provided that husband or wife cannot adopt a child without the consent of the other. The child may take the surname of the person adopting it. After adoption the child stands in the same relation to the person adopting it as if it were a child of his blood. Code, 201-211.
