While all states have generally similar laws governing the adoption of a minor child, most states’ laws with regard to the adoption of adults vary widely, in terms of the circumstances under which such an adoption can occur. Plus, there are some states in which adult adoptions are not permissible in any case. Therefore, before you proceed with any type of adoption, it is necessary to contact an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced with the adoption laws of your state.
