Question

I am 13 and want to be adopted by my step-dad. Can I file my own petition for the adoption or does it have to be done by my mom and step-dad? (it will be contested by my bio father - even though i haven't seen him in over 4 years).

Answer

Unfortunately no, the paperwork for adoption must be filed by an adult.
