Hi,
I personally don't have any experience with adult adoption, however I do have a lot of experience as an adult moving to EU countries.
I am uncertain that you'd be allowed to be adopted in any EU countries as an adult and even if you were, I think that you would find it difficult to move to said country. I've lived in both England and Sweden and have dealt with immigration in both countries. Both times I was trying to get a visa to be able to live with my husband/partner. We went through some pretty heavy duty questioning and investigation and we were 100% legitamate in our request to have me live in said countries. It's not easy! I've not given up my US citizenship as I want to be able to visit my friends and family back home freely. My children are dual citizens so they have many options available to them for where they want to work, study, settle later on in life. The idea of living in another country may seem romantic and ideal, but you still have to work, live, pay taxes!
I'm sorry that you have had a childhood that brings you to the conclusion that you wish to give up your blood family. I'm afraid I question your motives. There are so many people on these forums who have gone through so much pain and self doubt and so much more because of adoption. Because they are the child who doesn't know the mother who gave birth to them, because they are the mother who did what she thought was best for her child but always wonders if she could have done things differently, better.
Please think seriously about if this is a genuine solution for you. Please don't take the idea of adoption lightly. It's not something done on a whim.
Please also understand I don't mean to seem like I'm judging or trivializing your situation, I just needed to speak up. If you have any questions about moving to an EU country, I'll be happy to talk to you about options.
Good luck and I hope you can find peace.
