Petition Allow for the annulment of adoptions.

Currently Adoptions are for life - there be no 'escape' option - in law.
Should the Adoptee wish to sever links with their adopted families - their only option be a change of name - Deed Poll.
But, that does not break the link in law - which could cause conflicts later on - claims to the estate.

More details

Oneself be an Adoptee. This was explained to me when around seven years old. This meant little then, but, subsequent life experience has lead one to conclude that our characteristics are incompatible - nature does not fit in with nurture.
Adoption like Marriage be an entirely artificial construction, but, unlike Marriage - Adoption cannot be cancelled (annuled) by law - this is an unacceptable legal oversight.
