The New Hampshire Petition for Adoption of Adult is a legal process in which an adult or emancipated minor can become adopted. This petition is filed with the Probate Court in New Hampshire, and the process is overseen by a judge. There are two types of New Hampshire Petition for Adoption of Adult: stepparent adoption and adult adoption. In a stepparent adoption, an adult or emancipated minor is adopted by their stepparent. An adult adoption allows an adult or emancipated minor to be adopted by an unrelated adult, such as a family friend. The petition must include detailed information about the adopted, adopter, and any other parties involved in the adoption. Additionally, the petition must be accompanied by the appropriate court filing fees and other necessary documents. The court will review the petition and may require a home study and other additional information before the adoption is approved.
