An adoption establishes a parent-child relationship between the adoptive parent and the adoptee. The process begins by filing a petition for adoption and finishes with the entry of a Final Judgment of Adult Adoption.

Typically, the biological parents must consent to the adoption of a minor. However, in some circumstances, the consent of the absent father is not required. For an adult adoption, the consent of the parents is not required.

The adoptee can change their name as part of the adult adoption process.
