Adult adoption

Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction, adult adoption may not be available as a legal option. In the United Kingdom, only children may be adopted. The Adoption and Children Act (2002) states, ``An application for an adoption order may only be made if the person to be adopted has not attained the age of 18 years on the date of the application.''
