Wisconsin Order for Hearing — Adult Adoption is a form used in Wisconsin to initiate an adult adoption. The form serves to notify the court, the petitioner (the person wishing to adopt the adult), the respondent (the adult being adopted), the state, and any other interested parties of the adoption proceedings. The form outlines the essential information for the court to consider, such as the petitioner’s name, address, and contact information; the respondent’s name, address, and contact information; and any other relevant information. Once this form is submitted, a court hearing will be scheduled to consider the adoption. There are two types of Wisconsin Order for Hearing — Adult Adoption: a Joint Petition for Adult Adoption and a Petition for Adult Adoption by a Single Petitioner. The Joint Petition for Adult Adoption is used when the petitioner and respondent are both parties to the adoption. The Petition for Adult Adoption by a Single Petitioner is used when only the petitioner is the party to the adoption.
