What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania. My 11 year old son wants my husband to adopt him. He has visitation with his bio. father, but still desperately wants to be adopted. At what age in PA can my son pursue this on his own and win? Is he old enough now, or should he wait unit he is 12 or 13 or older.

Children do not get to decide they want different parents. If biodad agrees, or the court feels there is sufficient cause to terminate biodad's legal rights, THEN your hubby can adopt.
