An adoption puts the parent in the same legal position as if the child had been born to them. It is a complete and permanent relationship of parent and child. A legal guardianship extends certain legal rights and duties until the subject becomes 18, or becomes mentally or physically stable, some other triggering event, or further orders of the court.
