I want to be adopted?
|
I am 43 and want to be adopted legally by my surviving "legal guardian" father.
The stae of CA never allowed me to be adopted, as I was disabled at birth.
I want that changed now.
What do I do?

Call me a fish out of water.
I can understand your need for family, and I have searched the all mighty web and came across some websites that may be helpful to you.
As far as those Yonkers that say it cannot be done, hell girl you live in California... the home of the "let's do it anyway" peoples.
Good luck and I hope these help. |

Dear Fantasie,
California accepts and recognizes adult adoption. You do not have to settle for a name change although you CAN change it if YOU choose to.
You and the person adopting you will need to file the appropriate forms with the CA probate court. (This is who handles adult adoptions.) Call your local probate court and talk to the clerk to have the forms mailed to you. If you or the person adopting you are married, you will need a consent form from the spouse(s) involved.
Adult adoption is inexpensive and can be done without an attorney.

Good luck! I hope all goes smoothly and that your wish is fulfilled with as little hassle as possible! |

call your local courts and ask about adult adoptions. They are available in numerous states.
Don't get upset. There are tons of people here who say things to upset, but they get worse the more you feed into it. |

I think they can do this. My grandfather was legally adopted by his step dad but as an adult he had his real dad reinstated to this position. |

I'd get a lawyer.
But it should not be too tough cos you are an adult. |

Oooh, NOT a low rating. Please dont!
I believe, at your age, the only thing that can be done at this point in time is a legal name change to that of your surviving "legal guardian" father. I don't believe there are any legal provisions for anything further. |
