Sa totoo, ang ampunan ay puede lang gawin kapag ang bata ay minor pa, menor de edad. Kasi, kapag menor de edad pa ang bata, ito ay nangangailangan ng kalinga at atensiyon at supporta. Dahil sa ikaw ay 24 years old na, you do not need support of your aunt anymore, so, adoption cannot benefit you.

Puwera na lamang kung ikaw ay aampunin ng tiyahin mo para ikaw ay madala niya sa abroad bilang isang immigrant. Sa totoo, hindi puede ito. Ito ay suspicious sa ilalim ng immigration laws ng mga bansa. Kasi, kung papayagan na makapasok bilang immigrant ang isang taong inampon lamang para makapa-ngibang bansa, ito ay fraudulent. Kasi, may mga preferences ang immigration. May limitasyon ang karapatan na mag-petition para ang mga immediate family ay makapasok din as immigrant.

So, I suggest you talk to a lawyer. Dapat noon pa, noong ikaw ay menor de edad pa, saka ka in-adopt ng Tita mo. Ngayon na ikaw ay adult na, you do not need a parent anymore because you are an adult and you have control of your own life. Adoption kasi is a relationship created by law for the benefit of the child. You are no longer a child and you can no longer be benefited if your aunt adopts you.

Talk to a lawyer.
