Adult Adoption Resource Network

The Adult Adoption Resource Network (AARN) is an organization that facilitates the legal adoption of adults, primarily helping individuals who seek to create or strengthen familial connections. This can include situations where individuals may want to adopt a partner, stepchild, or a close friend to formalize their relationship and gain legal rights or benefits. The AARN provides resources, guidance, and support throughout the adoption process, making it easier for adults to navigate the legalities involved in forming these connections. This type of adoption can foster a sense of belonging and support within families.
