What is Adult Adoption?
Adult adoption creates a legal parent-child relationship between an adult and another adult. This process can provide emotional and financial benefits, such as inheritance rights, and is a great way to solidify the bond between family members. While adult adoption is less common than child adoption, it’s just as meaningful, and it is becoming more popular as people seek to formalize their familial ties.

The Adult Adoption Process in Johnson County
The process of adopting an adult is simpler than adopting a minor but still requires careful attention to detail. Here are the key steps:
- Consultation and Eligibility
- We begin with an initial consultation to assess your goals and eligibility. In Texas, the person being adopted must be at least 18 years old. We will also ensure the relationship between the adoptive parent and the adult is genuine.
- Filing the Petition
- Once eligibility is confirmed, we’ll prepare and file the adoption petition with the court. This petition includes all necessary information about the adoptive parent and the adult being adopted.
- Court Hearing
- A court hearing will be arranged to finalize the adoption. We will represent you at the hearing, ensuring that all legal requirements are met, and answer any questions the judge may have.
- Finalization
- Once the judge approves the adoption, they will issue an adoption decree, officially recognizing the new parent-child relationship.
