We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can you adopt an adult in America?

Each year, around 100,000 children are adopted in the U.S.1 But people play parenting roles well past their childs 18th birthday. That leaves some to wonder, Can you adopt an adult, too? The answer is yes. Adult adoption may occur for a potential adoptee aged 18 or older as long as the adoptee consents to it.

Can I adopt my 40 year old stepdaughter?

You can absolutely adopt your step-daughter. The adoption can be accomplished by filing a petition for adoption and having an adoption hearing. Your step-daughter AND her husband will need to consent in writing, as well.

Can my uncle adopt me if Im over 18?

You have to check with your own state, although the person wanting to be adopted has to be over 18, making them responsible for their own decisions. They also have to be at least ten years younger than the person adopting them (depending upon your state laws).

What is it called when you adopt an adult?

Adult adoption is a legal procedure in which an older adult adopts a younger adult. Once an adult adoption is complete, the parties assume toward each other a legal parent-child relationship, with all associated rights and responsibilities of such a relationship, including inheritance rights.

What is the oldest you can legally adopt someone?

Thats why you should check with an adoption professional about the age requirements for adoption in your state and the age requirements of the agency you want to work with, as most agencies do set their own age expectations for adoptive parents. At American Adoptions, you must be between 25 and 50 years old to adopt.
