If your 16 and want to become adopted by a person of your choice do you need parental consent and how long would it take?
At the age of 16 you are very close to the legal age of adulthood which is 18; this is very late to be adopted. Just tell your parents that you want to move out, and with their permission, move in with the person of your choice. Adoption does not seem necessary. If your parents do not consent, it is a problem, since they are still legally responsible for you. But they would probably consent as long as you can show that the person with whom you plan to live is a responsible person who will take good care of you, and is not just a sexual predator seeking to take advantage of a naive 16 year old.
