  1. No it is not too old and in fact where i live there is a program to encourage people to adopt teens from foster care.  So any teen can be adopted.  However, most people who adopt want  newborns to raise "as their very own" (which is why they cost so much) so you may have some searching to do to find prospective adoptive parents.  It can be done though.


  2. no its not. You would be brought into a new family and even when your 80, youll be family. Dont ask people to adopt you. Talk to an adoption agency. You wanna be adopted? why?

  3. No, but at that age, it might be better to just age out of the system. The state would pay for your education and help you get set up in your own home.

    I do know of at least one 16 yo who was adopted. She and her two siblings stayed with my parents (who are foster parents) until the adoption was final.

  4. no bcuz every1 needs love

  5. Yes you're too old... You are almost an adult.... Now who would want to adopt a person that will be grown in 2 years... Sorry

  6. Nope.

    My brother-in-law and his partner adopted recently a five month old and last year they adopted a(now)seventeen year old.

    Anyone of any age can be leagaly adopted.

  7. No, it's most certainly not too old!

    Please answer my question too :D

  8. Nope, even adults can be adopted.

  9. As others have said, it's still possible, since the teen is not yet of adult age.  

    The family and the teenager would need to agree on the adoption, but it's best to have an adoption lawyer draw up the papers so everything is done right and there are no problems later on.

  10. no b/c they have lived in the offange to long and they need a caring family thats what i am planning on doing when i have the money and everything adopting older girls :D

  11. No, 16 is not too old.  You can still be legally adopted.

    You could be an adult and still be adopted.

  12. I don't think that 16 is too old. But if your an adult then your to old.

  13. no. you can be legally adopted untill you are 18

  14. i dont think it is too old i think if someone would want to adopt a 16 yr old it would be great at least they would have a family

  15. No, not too old. If someone who is qualified to adopt you wants to adopt you and you are in agreement, not a problem.

  16. No. Everyone needs to be in a loving and caring home.
