Can you legally adopt an adult as your child?

Question

I'm poor and I'm looking for a rich american woman to take care of me so I can leave this god forsaken country for good. I need palm trees and sunlight to grow.

Your responsiblities as my new mommy: feed me, take me for walks. Sometimes I require a strong hand. I usually behave myself.

Answer 1

Feed you and take you for walks?  Are you a dog?  I love dogs!  I don't have any palm trees though.  And its been rather cloudy and rainy around here lately.  Best to just stay where you are.

Answer 2

Someone can be adopted at any age, when your 18 you don’t need your biological parents to sign their rights to you away. I know of a case where a stepfather adopted his step children after they turned 18 because the kids biological father would not allow them to be adopted. He didn’t even care for the kids, he just wouldn’t sign his right away  out of spite to his ex-wife.

Why don’t you look for a rich wife instead.

Answer 3

ahhh I don't think so

Answer 4

Now, if you really think you can legally adopt a 'rich' adult to take care of you like you want...paalleeeeezzz tell me how you did it so I can get a part of what every other kid in this world wants! ! ! ! !  Good luck trying to get the legal system to pass that into law!

Answer 5

Yes, you can adopt anyone as your "child" for inheritence purposes, regardless of their age. Even if you phrase the question like a lunatic, it does have a proper answer.

Answer 6

I'll adopt you. Your first command as my adopted child is that you attempt to utilize at least 15% of your brain at all times, thus increasing your current intelligence by 14.5%. Should you choose not to obey me I will offer you the strong hand you claim to need.

*rolls eyes* well that was amusing.

Answer 7

If you're hideous, you can fuhgitaboutit!  I hope you have at least one hidden talent to bring to the table.
