Can a 25 year old girl be adopted with her will


12-Oct-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi, I'm a 25years old woman and I don't get along well with my parents for many reasons. There's a lady who loves me like her own daughter and we're looking at legalizing our relationship as a mother and daughter. This lady has a son who's 10years old and loves me equally. Is it possible for her to adopt me as her daughter? If yes, is my parents' consent really needed? In case she can't adopt me as her daughter, is there a law that enables me to adopt a parent in India? Is it possible for me to have her as my legal mother?

Guidelines and requirements for adult adoptions vary between states. If you're considering an adult adoption, check with your Secretary of State. Many states require formal notification of birth parents. Some require the adopted party to be of diminished capacity while others only need an agreement between the parties involved. If the adult up for adoption is married, some states will want to have the consent of the adopted person's spouse.

Anyone considering an adult adoption is advised to learn the laws governing adoptions in his or her state and to consult an attorney. A full understanding of adult adoption and its effects is necessary before beginning the process of gaining or becoming a brand new son or daughter, no matter what your age is.
