Can you adopt your uncle?

Let's say my grandpa fathered a kid when I was 30. By the time I found out, the kid was already 6. Can I adopt this kid (who's my uncle)?


    




Lady Gaga person.
Yes it is quite possible, if it's a family member, and yes apparently it's your uncle, and he is only 6 then yes. you need to start with an adoption agency and might consider just going to court, and getting the right paper work signed, and then your all set to adopt!


oh_whatthe_hell
you would have to prove the childs mother as unfit before you can even attempt to adopt. Other than that, he is still a minor and you are still a responsible adult and family. you very well could adopt this child. good luck!

It is possible, provided the child is available for adoption. My Dad was the last of 16 children and he had nephews that were older than he was

I think you could....Maybe?


SgtShamy
if you're 30, then your grampa is.... older than 70, wow
but I don't see anything wrong with adopting the child
