Adoption of 17 year old with mothers permission and childs agreement.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? We all currently reside is Salem, Oregon. Objective of adoption is to establish eligibility for the child to use my GI bill educational benefits.

So mom realizes this terminates her parental rights and she will not longer be related to this child? Also, where is the child's father? Sad that a parent would sell their child.

I disapprove. I consider this to be a theft from the US govt.

By the time you go through all the hassles, you could have just paid for the education.

Are you by any chance married to the child's mother?

"To be eligible for the Chapter 35 Post 9/11 GI Bill, you must be a spouse, son, or daughter (including stepchild or adopted child) of a veteran or service member."
So if you are married to the child's mother, that child qualifies, no need for an adoption.

I get the distinct feeling that OP isn't related at all - except perhaps a grandparent.

Completely agree.

You have to be either jesting or overworked from waging war with motorized miscreants.

I was jesting. I was attempting to show deference for a veteran who wants to scam the country he defended, without ignoring the act.
