Re: Rights of Adopted Teens

If you are over the age of 16 and are self-sufficient, You could file a Petition to Emancipate a Minor which would allow you to get away from your adopted parents. If you need to live someplace else, you could file a Suit Affecting a Parent Child Relationship. You should find a lawyer to assist you in this matter.
