The Delaware Petition for Adult Adoption (Fill-In) is a legal document used in the state of Delaware to allow an adult to be adopted by another adult. This document is filed with the court to establish the adoptive parent’s parental rights and responsibilities for the adopted adult. There are two different types of Delaware Petition for Adult Adoption (Fill-In): an adoption petition with consent of the adopted, and an adoption petition without consent of the adopted. Both petitions require information such as the adopted’s name, age, address, and other identifying information, as well as the name, contact information, and relationship of the adoptive parent. The petition must also include a sworn statement from the adoptive parent that they are legally and financially capable of providing for the adopted. Upon filing the Delaware Petition for Adult Adoption (Fill-In), a hearing may be held to decide the adoption.
