Legal Question in Family Law in California

Hi

I'm 19 years old and have been living with my aunt and uncle since I was 7. They finally gained guardianship over me and my twin 14 year old brothers when I was 16. Now, they would like to adopt me. How should they go about doing this?

Thank you.

Your adoption would be an adult adoption. Your twin brothers would not qualify as an adult adoption until they are adults. It would appear from the information you have provided that the parental rights could be terminated to complete the adoption of your twin brothers be for they become adults. A consultation with an attorney would provide you information regarding the cost of an adult adoption compared to an adoption of a minor.
