Re: Adoption by another party
In order for your friend's parents to adopt you, your parents will have to consent to the adoption. You are still a minor. I don't know what "legal steps" you're talking about, so I can't give you a good answer. Get the advice of a lawyer. This site is to answer simple legal questions. This is a complicated matter.
This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship. For more in depth legal analysis hire a lawyer.
