    Seeing as you are LEGALLY an ADULT you cannot be "adopted"
    Now is the time to go and see what the big wide world has to offer you.

    That I understand very well,but I have tried keeping it in,it hurts me so bad seeing my friends with their families,when they celebrate mothers day or fathers day at church I feel empty,even their birthdays I feel like breaking down on the spot

    Then find a uncle or close friends family you like and celebrate with them.

    You get a job, go to work and perhaps find someone that you can companion with.

    Actually an adult can be adopted if they consent to it.

    You know what the best way to better about yourself is?

    Help someone else.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your parents, but being adopted by someone else isn't going to bring them back, nor is it going to be a nice big happy family the way you imagine.

    As an adult, you make your OWN family. Cultivate good friends. Save your money to get a good place so that you can host get-togethers yourself for the holidays. Spend Mother's Day and Father's Day at a nursing home with people who have lost their children.

    People who are looking to adopt want BABIES, not adults. Adults are able to care for themselves, they don't need a parent to look out for them. What adults need are friends.

    Yes, this is true in SOME places. In others its not. For example the UK does not permit adult adoptions. So please be more careful when making blanket statements like that.
