You dont. You are considered an adult.
Adult adoption is permissible in every state. Robin Smith, you shouldn't answer to what you don't know. I see this question is old but I still felt compelled to answer after seeing Ms. Smiths misinformation which must have had you feeling let down. I hope you or other young adults understand that if there is a person willing to adopt you EVEN AS AN ADULT, all you need is petition your county probate court. If what you need is actually support services if you can not completely care for yourself as in there is a physical or mental disability or incapacity then a social worker can help with those resources. I hope you have found the family you are looking for, Dre. If not then pray on it and know that there is good in the world. Sending an abundance of love and light to you.
