If your adopted......?

Unless you are being abused, you cannot "be adopted". It's not something you can do because you dont like your parents. Most people dont like their parents until they're in their mid to late 20's. Love them, of course. Like them, not so much.

If you are being abused, talk to a school consellor, or call the police. You will then be sent to live with another family member. If there is no family member, you will be sent to foster care.
You will not find any foster kids here that will tell you it's fun.

Adoption has pain involved for every party. There's a loss to the first Mother, Father & their families, a loss to the adoptive parent because they could not have a biological child, and for an adoptee, there is a loss of our identity, our heritage, our families, our medical information, and it is sad.

Adoption is really not something to joke about. If you are being abused, tell someone, and not strangers on Yahoo.

It really depends on your situation. If you are living in an unfit condition, you might be able to choose a relative or another trusted adult to live with as long as the courts agree they could provide a proper living situation.

No, it's not quite that simple.

You can only choose adoption by another family when you're over age 18-21, depending on your area. Whenever your state considers you an adult legally.

While you are still a minor, you can only be adopted if your parents' rights are terminated by the state, or if your parents voluntarily sign a termination of parental rights. The state would only terminate the rights in cases of abuse, neglect, or abandonment-- not just because you don't get along with them. And your parents would be unlikely to want to terminate their rights to their child; even if you argue a lot or have family drama, they're still your parents.

Children don't get to pick their families. That is only the privilege of adults.

Well your family would have to agree with it. You would probably be placed in several foster homes, and the adoption agency would probably pick for you. So probably not... sorry.

You must wait. You must wait for the end of days, when all adopted kids will come together to create Adoptimus Prime. We will then take over the world.
