Hello, that is very sweet!

I think what you need to do, is go to the court house, and fill out the papers. You don;t need a lawyer, because she is of age.

I think it costs around $250-$350 or so to adopt an older person. I know this, because my husbands step father was talking about adopting him, even though he is over 40, I guess he wanted him to feel more a part of the family? But, it never happened. Not sure why?

Anyway, I think it is a great idea, and good luck! ↑
