New York Consent to Adult Adoption By Adopted is a legal document that gives consent to the adoption of an adult by another person in the state of New York. This document is required for a person to legally adopt an adult in the state. The document must be completed and signed by the adopted, the biological parents of the adopted, the adopting parents, any legal guardian of the adopted, and any other person whose consent is required by the court. This document outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved in the adoption process. The document must also be notarized and filed with the court. Two types of New York Consent to Adult Adoption By Adopted exist: Voluntary and Involuntary. Voluntary Consent is given by the adopted, who must be at least 18 years of age, and the biological parent(s), if any. Involuntary Consent is given by a court order, usually due to the inability of a biological parent to give consent.
