Can you be adopted as an adult?

Legal analysis: 1. Those who are adopted are minors who cannot live independently and constitute an adoption relationship with each other.

Article 23 of the Adoption Law stipulates that the rights and obligations between adoptive parents and adopted children shall be governed by the provisions of the law on the relationship between parents and adopted children from the date of the establishment of the adoption relationship; The rights and obligations between adopted children and close relatives of adoptive parents shall be governed by the provisions of the Law on the Relationship between Children and Close Relatives of Parents.

At the same time, the relationship of rights and obligations among adopted children, biological parents and other close relatives is destroyed by the establishment of adoption relationship. (They do not support each other and do not inherit from each other)

The establishment of the adoption relationship shall be examined and registered with the civil affairs department according to law, otherwise it shall not be established. However, there is also a de facto adoption relationship in our laws. According to the specific situation, some laws are also recognized. (go through the formalities)

2. If you adopt an adult child, it is impossible to form an adoption relationship with the other party!

The adoption law stipulates that minors under the age of 14 can be adopted. Therefore, it is impossible for adult children to sever their relationship with their biological parents!

This kind of folk adoption, in law, actually belongs to the relationship of bequest and support, that is, you take care of my old age, and after a hundred years, the property belongs to you. This relationship does not affect his relationship with his biological parents, but he still has the obligation to support his biological parents. At the same time, we also have the right to inherit the inheritance of our biological parents!

A principle of law is the correspondence between rights and obligations, that is, there is no right with only rights but no obligations, and there is no obligation with only obligations without rights. The biological parents raised their children, and when they grow up, they can't stop raising them just because they adopted their biological parents. This is legally impossible.

Legal basis: Article 23 of the Adoption Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), since the adoption relationship is established, the rights and obligations between adoptive parents and adopted children shall be governed by the provisions of the Law on the Relationship between Parents and Children; The rights and obligations between adopted children and close relatives of adoptive parents shall be governed by the provisions of the Law on the Relationship between Children and Close Relatives of Parents.
