How Do I Adopt My Adult Step Daughter
My question involves adoption law for the State of: California.
I've thumbed thru a few posts before deciding to write my own because the information is vague and not helpful. i have reasearched for three days before posting. San luis obisbo county, ca has told me the adoption gov forms are not valid for adults and referred me to the NOLO books of ca. It explicity says on chapter 1, page 2 this book is not intended for adult adoptions. So i am back to sqaure one of my research. If you are willing to help, please provide links to where i may look at a sample petition to use to submit my request.
I have been told i need 1- petition for adult adoption- consent, agreement of adoption signed by my wife, birth mother of my step daughter and an adoption order. also 1 form from ca state, court report of adoption, form VS44. its a 3 part form , all i need to fill in is part 1 & 2.
withthat being said, administrator please do not say it can be done and good luck, i need factual info that will help and assist me to complete an adoption. I am not here to think about it and find out I can.
My adult daughter is great, her mother/ my wife are all in this together. Her father is deceased for 8 years now. she is 26.
please help and thank you.

Information about California adult adoptions can be found here and here.
You can get the forms for your county at your county Probate Court.
