Hello,
I am really glad I found this website because I have been wanting to find a someone who is open to adopting an adult (me). I am about to get married in April and it suddenly hit me hard that my parents won't be there. They are both still alive but due to a very complicated relationship and circumstances, we no longer speak. I know the ideal is to adopt and infant or young child, but I believe there are some people who wish to form bonds of love even if it is with an older child.

About me, I am 29 years old and I grew up with a grandmother who raised me well and showed me love. She was diagnosed with lung cancer. After a long and difficult path of fighting with family members about the course of what to do for my grandma, i realize that I deserve better and should seek a family bond elsewhere. I could never express the distress I have felt accurately in words, so I will not try to do so at length, here. I always wondered why my parents acted so immaturely and why I couldn't have a strong and supportive parents who I respected and I could depend on. It has been a source of a lot of pain in my life, and although there is not much I can change about my relationship with my birth parents. I am now reaching out to this community to see if there is anyone who has thought about adopting an adult daughter.

Just so you know, I think that my struggles with my parents made me want to be nothing like them, and I worked incredibly hard to try to become a strong, independent and hardworking woman. I actually graduated with a master's degree and work as a health care professional.

I am not looking for any financial support or any other form of dependency, and I would not be a residential dependent. I'm Canadian, raised in Canada but currently reside in Florida. I have a green card from my work and my soon to be husband is an American with a successful career. I am really just looking for someone who has wanted a daughter who I can care for and love as the mother, father and sister, like I have always wanted. I am also not idealistic–I know no relationship is perfect, but hopefully fulfill each other's lives a bit more through this adoption.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please email me.
