My stepfather raised me but never adopted me — can he adopt me as an adult?

Yes! This is one of the most popular and meaningful services we offer. Adult adoption allows your stepfather to legally adopt you regardless of your age.

Why this is so common:

• Many stepfathers wanted to adopt but the biological father wouldn't consent when you were a minor
• Some families didn't know about adoption or couldn't afford it at the time
• Others simply didn't realize it was an option until later in life

The beauty of adult adoption:

• Only YOUR consent is needed — the biological father has no say
• No home study, no background check
• Typically finalizes in 4–8 weeks
• Creates a full legal parent-child relationship

What changes after adoption:

• Full inheritance rights (both directions)
• Legal recognition of the relationship
• New birth certificate with your stepfather's name (if you want)
• Medical decision-making authority
