If you are an adult, you legally no longer have parents. You are on your own. Therefore, you are not adoptable or require a legal guardian. An adult can, however, change their name to that of another person/family if it suits their purpose of becoming a member of said family. ____________________________________________________________ I do not know the correctness of the above answer but I do know some more answers about this topic. An adult can be adopted by another adult. However, you must check your state laws to see their stipulations on the matter. For example, Oklahoma's laws state "Summary: An adult may be adopted with consent." I am still trying to get answers on the disowning parents, but at least I can correct this little part of the question.

∙ 13y agoSure. Disowning a child has no legal effect in and of itself. That pretty much means you will no longer have any relationship with the child.
If you mean you want to disinherit your adult children you can do so. However, you must make certain to have your will drafted properly by an attorney who specializes in probate law in your state according to the laws in your jurisdiction. State laws vary and a professional can draft a will to make it invulnerable to challenges.

How many adoptive parent's tell the child that they are adopted?
Well if the child is adopted before he or she is able to keep any real memory of the adoption the adoptive parents may tell him or her that he/she was adopted when the child is old enough to understand. Telling a child that the were adopted is hard to do, the child will have millions of questions like where is my birth parents, why was I adopted, and you may not be able to answer the. So advise to those telling their child they are adopted write down all the facts you know about the adoption like when it happened why it happened and if their birth parents want to be contacted. If the child was older say 6 and on when he/she was adopted they will know about it and will have questions. In some cases a child isn't told that he/she is adopted and may never know unless they find out on their own.
