It's so common to receive calls from adult adoptee's asking if the can legalize their relationships with their "step-parent" or adult who served as the "father or mother figure" their whole lives. This legal process provides the adult adoptee and adoptive parent with that finality they have been looking for ...in some situations the adult adoptee's birth certificate can be amended as well to list the adoptive parent's name.
