The purpose of this paper is to develop methods to find formulae for the adjoint of a bounded composition operator on Hardy spaces on the upper half-plane \(\mathbb{C}^{+}\). The author begins by generalizing the notion of Aleksandrov--Clark measures to the half-plane and defining the Aleksandrov operator \(A_\varphi\). He proves that if the composition operator \(C_\varphi\) is bounded in \(L^q\), then it is the adjoint of \(A_\varphi\) on \(L^p\), \(1<p,q<\infty, \;1/p+1/q=1\). This gives an adjoint formula for the case \(p=2\). He then turns his attention to composition operators with rational symbol. A complete characterization of boundedness of such operators is obtained: the composition operator \(C_r\), for a rational self map \(r\) on \(\mathbb{C}^+\), is bounded on \(H^p(\mathbb{C}^+)\) if and only if \(r(\infty)=\infty\) and if and only if the degree of the numerator of \(r\) is precisely~\(1\) larger than the one of the denominator. Integral methods in the spirit of the work by \textit{C.\,Hammond, J.\,Moorehouse} and \textit{M.\,E.\thinspace Robbins} [J.~Math.\ Anal.\ Appl.\ 341, No.\,1, 626--639 (2008; Zbl 1145.47021)] are used to get an explicit formula for the adjoint of a composition operator with rational symbol, which is a multiple-valued weighted composition operator. Two interesting examples are evaluated: the case of a linear symbol and a more complicated function for which the composition operator is known to be an isometry.
