For a legal adoption to be accomplished, both biological parents need to surrender their legal rights to another person who is willing to adopt you. I dont know what has taken place in your life that both of your biological parents are willing to surrender their legal rights to you but presumably you believe that it is best for you. The person willing to adopt you will then file a formal adoption complaint with the court system and accompanying that complaint should be the written statements by both biological parents acknowledging their agreement to surrender their legal right to you over to this other person and that both acknowledge that it is best for you and that it is a permanent decision. After that complaint is filed with the court system, there is an investigation by a state agency of the person seeking the adoption and the household to ensure that it is appropriate and that there are no concerns about the person seeking the adoption. Once all of the paperwork is filed, the court will then set a final hearing date and then grant the adoption. Once the adoption is approved, then the person seeking the adoption is recognized formally and legally as your parent and the rights and obligations on your biological parents terminated.
