Can you still get adopted even if your 19?

Question

i have been living with them since i was six, but they never adopted me, but now they want to adopt me because of some issues.

Answer 1

You didn't indicate the issues, which no one really needs to know, but it concerns me as an adoptive father of two, that after all this time they have an interest in adopting you at 19 years.

You know what the issues are, so you think of what you have to gain by being adopted now.

Answer 2

Yes, most states have provisions for adults to be adopted.  You can contact your local courthouse to obtain the necessary paperwork and get information on the procedure and filing fees.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

It's called Adult Adoption. It's abit more complicated than it should be... IMHO.

Answer 5

I guess technically you can although that would be strange since you can live your own life =/ but I mean it would be great if they did since then you could have a family? eek!! ahh!!!

Answer 6

you can get adopted at any time

Answer 7

Absolutely.  It is called an adult adoption.  I had a friend that did it.  Her father left her and her mother when she was young.  She is now very successful and has lots of money.  She was always afraid of her father coming back for money.  So she went through the adult adoption and had her god father adopt her when she was 28.

Answer 8

Yes, there are methods to be adopted at your age... and this is very common with many Foster Children who grew up with families that for one reason or another Adoption was not possible....

Good Luck and won't it just feel so nice to have this documentation that You are the Child of _________ as you have been since you were 6!

Answer 9

sure be happy and have a great life!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

It may vary by state, but I believe you can be adopted at any age. There are significant changes in inheritance rights and obligations, health care decision making and so forth.

Answer 11

of course not, well i mean you are old enough now to be an adult (it starts at eighteen), I suppose they can though...................tough question.

peace

Answer 12

Well, your an adult now, so i think that if they were gonna officially adopt you they would have done so by now right!  Why do you need that piece of paper to prove that you belong to them anyways, you already do.
