Question mentally retarded child adoption by retired military man

Posted Feb 21, 2003

I am a retired AirForce officer, 73 years old. After being widowed, I met a widow, a woman I had known since our early years together in school. She has a mentally retarded daughter, age 45 who has lived at home her entire life.

We married and I would like to learn if I adopt the daughter, will she be considered a dependent under the military system.

I will be contacting the military, but I thought one of you might have some tips for me.

I don't have the answer you are looking for, but I wanted to wish the three of you a wonderful and blessed journey together.

And for you sir, thank you for serving us as an USAF officer.

Adoption

Ordinarily, she should be considered a dependent. Have you contacted an attorney to be sure that you can adopt her in your state?

Regards
