What the petition asks
Anyone over the age of 18 cannot be adopted. I want to make this available for those who want their non blood parents or gaurdians, step fathers, step mothers to adopt them, no matter what age they are.
I want my non blood father who brought me up from the moment I was born to be my dad, officially on paper. Now I am 30 and have a better understanding I can fight for this.
