Can anyone tell me how to do this?

My current situation is my parents are divorced I live with my mom full time, I'm 13, and I don't have any contact with my father by my choice. Both of my parents are abusive and I'm extremely unhappy living with my mother to the point where she makes me depressed. I was wondering how I could get myself out of this home and not be put into my fathers but instead adopted. Also I was wondering if there was a person I knew that was interested in adopting me what requirements there are for them to adopt me and what is the basic legal process.

Also I was wondring do I have to have evidence of abuse to be put into adoption?

What abour your grandparents? You can go to child services about your parents. Don't even think about adoption at 13 as most people want babies so you will be a foster child going from home to home.

How about your grand parents are they in the picture? Any aunts or uncles who could help you?

call and ask a professional. if you cant use a hose phone, use a friends home phone, school phone or public phone.

You can contact family services in your area, but they will do reviews and probably only put you into foster care.

Unless your parents give up their rights to you, you cannot be adopted. If they are abusive, tell an adult that you trust, and then the authorities that investigate the incidents will be able to help you.
