Adult adoption in Rhode Island is our same $349 document preparation fee. And the total cost is typically lower than minor child adoption because:
- No home study needed (even in states that normally require one)
- No background check required
- No service of process on a biological parent
- Court filing fees: $100–$400 (same as minor adoption)
Total cost is typically $450–$750 — all in.
Adult adoption in Rhode Island is filed in Family Court and typically finalizes in 4-8 weeks. The only consent required is from the adult being adopted. We prepare all documents and deliver them within 24 hours.
