What is the maximum age a child can be to be adopted?

actually there is no age that you cannot adopt, even a 25 year old can be adopted by a 40 or 50 year old. All it takes is a simple legal procedure as long as everyone agrees.

the most common reasons include: wanting to provide the love and support that the adopted person didn't get as a child and/or to make sure there is someone to receive an inheritance. There are also other reasons but those are the two most common.
