Im in michigan and I have a 17yr stepson that has been living with me since he was 1. I recently became a member of my families tribe of native american indians that are also from mich. in 2007 they opened a casino that I now recieve checks from, the only requirement for him to recieve the same checks that I recieve from my tribe is that I adopt him. What I need to find out is am I able to adopt him at his age and if I can how much does it cost and how do I get it done asap. This is very important to me as I already feel he is my son and he can use the money to get a education. His mother and I do not know where his bio-father lives or how to contact him he has never had any contact with him nor has he ever payed child sapport.
