California Adult Adoption does not require the Consent of the Adoptee's biological parents. California Family Code section 9302(b) states, "[t]he consent of the parents of the proposed adoptee, of the department, or of any other person is not required." In many cases of Adult Adoption the biological parent, such as an absent father or even an absent mother who abandoned the Adoptee, is no where to be found and not present in the Adoptee's life. The California Legislature recognized this fact of life and explicitly wrote into the Adult Adoption law that the consent of the parents of the proposed adoptee is not required for the adult adoption case to be granted.
