in america you are legally considered an adult therefore you cannot be adopted.

i suggest you find a nice young lady and sweep her off her feet and start a family with her.

there's not a gift more rewarding than being a parent. you might want to try that.

I don't think you can be abopted.
But maybe you can try a foreign exchange program, so that maybe you can come to america and someone can help you in the begaining. I'm sure theres a few programs.

But also before you leave the Phillipines make sure you have an education or talent or somthing, so when you get here you can get a good paying job.

Find some rich, little old (very old) lady, and have her adopt you, then you'll inherit everything.

Not really, but why do you want to be adopted now?

If you're 18, you're considered a legal adult. I don't think that an adult can be adopted...Call an adoption agency and ask them about it.

You can be adopted at any age, how you are going to be is a wonder but you can be. Just a warning make sure they don't take out a huge life insurance policy on you....ie Arsenic and Old Lace

You don't have to be adopted to find someone that will love you or be a mentor to you. You can help others and they can be of help to you without an adoption agreement in place.

The people who are saying adults can't be adopted are WRONG. In fact, adult adoption is the ONLY type of adoption that I support.

Good luck!

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



Caledonia
Yes, you can be adopted as an adult. 18 is not a magic age. Maybe you should reflect as to reasons why you feel adoption is necessary for you. Contact the nearest child welfare agency and share your story. Find out what your options are and be honest as to your intent. Best of luck.
