This varies from state to state; some states allow adult adoption and some do not.

AnswerNot in Alabama unless special circumstances exist, such as the person having a physical or mental disability that would prevent them from the ability to handle their personal and financial needs. Even so, the usual procedure would be for the court to appoint a guardian/conservator or make the person a "ward of the court" rather than allowing adoption.

Here is the AL law:

Section 26-10A-6

Who may be adopted.

The following persons may be adopted:

(1) A minor.

(2) An adult under any one of the following conditions:

a. He or she is totally and permanently disabled.

b. He or she is determined to be mentally retarded.

c. He or she consents in writing to be adopted and is related in any degree of kinship, as defined by the intestacy laws of Alabama, or is a stepchild by marriage.

d. He or she consents in writing to be adopted by an adult man and woman who are husband and wife.

(Acts 1990, No. 90-554, p. 912, §6, Act 98-101, p. 118, §1; Act 2004-528, §1.)

Since the individual is over the age of majority if they consent to be "adopted" it would be lawful.
