Answer 1

You would have to go through an attorney.  The family adopting you would have to have a home study and background check done by a licensed social worker.  Consent for adoption forms would be filed with the courthouse, you would go before the judge, then another part of the home study done, and after a waiting period of about 6 months, depending on where you live, another court hearing.  Or, your friend's parents can easily get guardianship by them and your parents going to the courthouse together.  It isn't a permanent things, and might have to be renewed occaisionally, however, it makes it where they can enroll you in school, insurance, and your first parent's rights aren't totally gone forever.

I do suggest getting a third party in your home situation, such as a counselor, who might direct your communications and needs better, and maybe heal the disfunctions in your life.  Good luck!

Answer 2

The friend's family would have to hire an attorney who could then do the process legally.

Answer 3

Another option is for your friends parents to become your legal guardians.  This gives them the ability to seek medical aide & make decision regarding your schooling, etc., without permanently severing your connection with your parents. Check the information below:

At the age of 16, you may be able to become an emancipated minor.  Check the link below for information about emancipation of a minor in your state.

Before taking such a drastic & permanent step, I hope you & your family can find some help/counseling. Even if you decide to stay with your friends family for a while, or longer.  Just to help you all heal from whatever is providing the motivation to seek an alternate living arrangement.  

Hope things work out for you....

Take care, my friend
