Can an adult dissolve their adoption from 35 yrs ago?
|
I'd like to erase my step father adopting me and simply go back to being my real Fathers daughter. Rather than paying to be re-adopted...dissolving the adoption seems to make more sense.
Thank you

Nope. Adoption is forever.
You'll have to have your own father adopt you--isn't that nuts? |

Its probably cheaper to just go ahead and change your name legally back to what it was and just emotionally dissolve the adoption. At your age it's really just a formality anyway (and yes, I know it's important to you) but the fact of the matter is all an adoption would achieve at this point in time is the name change anyway. It sounds like you already have the emotional part done. |

They just changed the outdated sealed records law in Maine and you are now able to go and apply for your Original, unaltered birth certificate
Go get it! |

I don't know what the creditials are of anyone on the site...but I would suggest getting a lawyer in your state. Every state has different laws about adoption. Get a lawyer and have them help you. You can request to get your adoption files opened. See what is there and then have a legal discussion about what can be done. As an Adoptee you do have lots of rights and you have the right to try :) and get this resolved in a way that feels right and appropriate to you. |

No you can't sorry. I don't even think you can be re-adopted at this point since you are legally an adult. But you can choose to call whom ever you want Dad. |
