How to adopt an adult in California in 2023. Adult adoption lawyer, Randall Hicks, explains the adoption laws and procedures, costs, and other key issues. He serves Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties, and also assists families in other California counties. Many people wonder "Can you adopt an adult? Someone over age 18?" The answer is "yes," you can. Learn more at one of Randy's websites: https://AdultAdoptionCenter.com https://StepparentAdoptionCenter.com To start working with Randy, please go to one of his websites, read about the adult adoption process and his experience and qualifications, then click on the Adult Adoption Questionnaire to tell Randy more about your case. Then just click SUBMIT, and upon reciept, Randy will contact you for a free, detailed Zoom consultation for the adopting parent(s) and the adoptee. Here are the common questions Randy addresses in this video: -Is the consent of the birth parents required? -Is a home study or investigation required? -Is there an age requirement? -How long does it take? -Does it require a hearing before a judge to be granted? -Can the person being adopted change their name? -Can the person being adopted get a new birth certificate? -Where do you file your legal documents? -Can the adopting parent or adoptee live outside California? -What does it cost to do an adult adoption? -Will the adoption terminate the parental rights of the existing parents? -One question not fully addressed in the video: Can you adopt more than one person? Yes, if they are related; but otherwise, no - only one adult adoption a year. -Also not addressed in the video: Does adult adoption create citizenship or give immigration benefits when adopting a non-US citizen? The answer is no. This is only a benefit for some children adopted under age 16 meeting the "orphan" designation set by the US government. These questions, and more, are addressed by Randy. Randy has been an adoption attorney for 36 years. He limits his practice solely to adoption, and in fact focuses specifically on adult adoption - perhaps the only attorney in California who does so. Most family law attorneys focus on divorce and child support and rarely do an adult adoption, if ever. Randy, by comparison, does them exclusively. He has offices in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Riverside, and serves all those local courts. He actually handles adult adoptions statewide as most courts now not only permit digital court filing of documents, digital signing of documents, but also video court appearances. He offers free consultations - quite lengthy - 30 minutes and by Zoom. Unlike most attorneys who charge hourly (and where you will never know the total fee until your case is done) Randy charges a flat legal fee of $2,250. This covers EVERYTHING in your adoption: court filing fee, California birth certificate fee, court costs and his own expenses incurred in doing your adoption. Most attorneys will separately bill you for this. Randy pays it from his fee. And if you want to keep an existing parent's rights and not have them terminated by adoption, even that is not an additional legal fee. Randy's fee is actually far less than the average family law lawyer ($3,500-$4,000), despite the fact he has so much more experience. Please verify this for yourself before calling Randy. Call local family law attorneys and get their price, and even better, make them commit to a flat fee. About Randy: -An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. -A rating of AV from Martindale Hubbard (the attorney rating service), which is the highest possible rating and obtained by less than 10% of attorneys nationwide. -A rating of 10 from Avvo (the highest possible rating), and over 150 5-star reviews (Avvo.com, where clients can rate their attorney). -Has worked with the California legislature on adoption laws for 30+ years. -Recently Randy co-authored Family Law 9306(c), permitting an adult adoptee to keep existing parental rights so that they are not terminated by adoption. This was passed by the legislature into law in 2020. -Is the author of many highly-respected adoption books. (You can enter his name in the search bar on Amazon books to see a list.) -Has litigated many adoption cases back when he handled contested case, one reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. -Check out Randy's Google and Yelp reviews, spread out over his many locations as StepparentAdoptionCenter.org (Sherman Oaks), StepparentAdoptionCenter.com (Offices in San Diego, Irvine and Riverside), RandallHicks.com and AdultAdoptionCenter.com (Santa Monica). Because Randy's legal field is so narrow, he needs to practice over a large geographical area. #adultadoption #adoptanadult #adoptinganadult #california #californiaadultadoption #adultadoptionattorney #adultadoptionlawyer #attorneyadultadoption #lawyeradultadoption #2023 #adoptchildover18 #losangeles #adultadoptionlosangeles #losangelesadultadoption
