My best friend and I have been planning our lives together, and intend on adopting each other as sisters legally. We love each other dearly and call ourselves sisters already, but wish that we were actually born as sisters. Unfortunately, we are not. However, we wish to be. I know that there is a way of doing this as I've heard of people who've done such things and I know a 30 year old adult who got adopted by a family. However, I am not sure of the process. We intend on living together after we both graduate from university, buy a house together, split car ownerships, etc. We basically intend on doing everything together, regardless of who gets married. She's even told someone she'd even consider being with that if they ever did get into a relationship and married him, he'd have to accept me, as the two of us will live together no matter what. We want to spend all our lives together, grow old together, and be those cool goth grannies when we are old ladies, and I get to name one of her kids (I neither intend on getting married or making babies. I just want to live with my sister and be a happy lady). We were on a stroll in a green, picturesque area, and talking about how wonderful it would be if we were childhood friends who knew each other since we were babies and how our lives would have been so much better and have lesser drama and more love, if we'd met in our preteen years. After that, we were talking about how we wish we were actually born as sisters. That's when I came up with this idea, and said, I've heard of people adopting sisters and legally making them sisters. If we could do that, we could actually be sisters. She said, "And I'd finally fulfil my dream of having a little sister!". We spoke further and decided to look into the legal course of action in order to execute this. Can anyone help us with information on this? We clicked the moment we'd met. We are like... mind connected sisters. We even happened to dye our hair pink on the same day, and then surprise each other with it without knowing of each other's plans! Around 5 days ago, she decided to dye her hair blue, and I decided the same, and verbalized it approximately two days ago, and she said "OMG, surprisingly, I was talking to mom about dyeing my hair blue three days ago!" That's when I told her that I came up with that plan three days ago, and we were talking about how our minds are secretly connected too! It's so true! Even her mother said that she is turning into me. Then she replied saying "I am not turning into Ana. We are turning into each other, and soon enough, we'll be a single entity". XD I just want so badly for her to be my real sister. How do I get about it? She's my life, she's everything to me. EVERYTHING. I don't see life without her. She is family. She's my best friend. She's my sister. She's my life. Life is nothing without her. We realized it the day she moved away for university... We even reacted to the separation exactly the same. We even think the same things at the same time, and often verbalize them at the same time as well. We just want to be sisters. For real. Life, legit. Real. Not just "I consider her my sister".

I am 20. She's 21. We both live in Canada. She is a Canadian citizen, but I am not a Canadian citizen yet (I'm not sure if there is a difference in laws based on nationality). I'm the only family I have in Canada. Hence, I have none. It would be nice to have her as my family in Canada... seeing how she's that one person I am so close to. We both want for us to be sisters. I'm not sure about how her parents feel about this, or how mine do. But when we were talking and joking about this, she was like, "Yeah. I'll like, go to my mom and say "Mom, please sign this. I want Ana as my sister". I know that my parents are likely to be understanding about it, because they do know how much she means to me. As a matter of fact, everyone else who knows me... even remotely, does.

It would be a lot easier to get married.
