My sister wants to adopt me?

My sister and her boyfriend wants to adopt me. My mom can take care of me and I am just fine but we are really close and all of us think I would be happier what should I tell my mom and how do I get it done?

my mom will probaly be okay with it and my sister is more than my sister but maybe i should just move in with her.

Your sister is your sister. Period. Your Mom is your Mom. Tell your Mom. She'll just laugh like we are.

You can't do anything if your mother doesn't want to sign over her rights.


mom of many
you obviously have no clue as to what it takes to adopt someone, even a sister. As the others have said, IF your Mom agrees, just live with your sister and have Mom give her guardianship.

I moved in with an aunt when I was younger, and there is a middle ground you might want to look at. Have your mother give your sister either legal guardianship or power of attorney so she can make legal decisions for you. That was there's no severing of parental rights or anything- you just live with your sister. It's easy, cheap, and no one has to get hurt.

I think you should just move in with her because getting adopted by your sister would be kind of awkward...but iunno

Just move in with your sister. And get your mom to draw up legal guardianship papers with a lawyer. That way, your mom, who sounds like a good mother to me, doesn't lose her parental rights to you, and you don't lose your identity and history.

she must legally emancipate u

talk to her and tell her that you want to move in with your sister and then give it time after you move in and then bring it up with your mom that your sister wanted to adopt you and see what happens from there!

my grandmother adopted me and my mom was fine with it
