No, you already have parents. They would have to give up their parental rights or have them removed by a court of law. If you're not happy at home, you might try to seek counseling from a guidance counselor or therapist. Or perhaps you could suggest your parents or the whole family seek some help in resolving issues.
In order for you to be adopted your parents have to give up their parental rights to the state. First then are you up for adoption. It's really hard for older kids to be adopted though. There is already about 500.000 children waiting in the US.
I certainly don’t think so, unless you are getting abused by your parents and equally have to get taken away from them.
Having children of your own (of any age) will certainly not exclude you from adopting, whether they are living at home with you or have grown up.
if your parents sign custody off to the other people
It is possible for someone else to get legal custody over you. You would need a good reason. Good reasons exist. Talk to your school councilor. That person would be the place to start.
The police will most likely judge your motive for leaving home and open a case. But most likely you will loose. I did. And I hate It.

Being adopted dose not make it any different then being with your biological parents. They are your legal guardians so whatever laws apply to non adopted children applies to you. So wherever you are, find out what age you can legally be on your own and then proceed from there. I do believe 16 sounds a bit young to be on your own, but I haven't got a clue. 16 is really young to leave you family, so maybe talk to your parents?
Only if they have their parents' permission.
Once you reach the age of majority. Until then the parents get to decide where you live and they have put you where they want you.
No. Age of majority is the same whether you are adopted or not and this means you cannot move unless you are 18 or have your adoptive parents consent.
when your 16 the book says i did it aswell
If he wants go with that family member. He is grown folk!
this 17 year girl lives with another family and planning a cruise going to mexico. can she go without her parents permission
Without parental permission you can leave at 18. Under 18 you will need your parents to give up their parental rights in order for your step parents to adopt you.
No more than a natural child of 17 can leave his or her home. Until the age of 18, juveniles are under the custody of their parents or guardians.
hmm... one is that your parents/guardian might leave the best stuff to you when they die. another is you get to be in charge of the younger ones when your parents are gone. another is you get to be the first in college and the first out of the house if you want! Anyone feel free to add more.
Yes, you just pause it then save and leave it, for another family!! Hope this helps.
