Adoption is the same legal process whether the individual is a child or an adult.The second reason, almost as common, is to formalize an existing parent/child relationship. For example, parents can adopt a now adult foster child or stepchild.
Adoption is one option for women who are pregnant and not ready and/or unable to care for a child once it is born. There are several reasons why a young woman may decide to give custody of her child to someone else, such as a relative or a loving family she may not know.
