Q: I have been raised by a couple basically my whole life. Where can I find adult adoption forms? Besides an attorney.
I am 25 now and this couple have raised me since I was 3 weeks old when my mother handed me to them. At 3 years she took me back and it was hell. At 11 my birth mother signed me over to them. This couple asked then if I wanted them to adopt me. I said no. Now that I am older I want to go through with it and forever be a part of their family in every way. They want this as well. Problem is I can not find the forms for a Tennessee adult adoption and was hoping to not hire an attorney. This would mean the world to us.
A: Adoption can be very complicated. Hire a competent attorney to represent all interested parties, which makes it easier and cheaper. If the Adoption is messed up, you will know it when you try to inherit from your Parents.
