As per the information provided by you, it is not possible under Indian Laws to adopt someone who is above the age 18 years (as adoption can be done only of a minor). But there are other ways whereby you can relate to each other. It will advisable to contact me so that I can understand your case in a better sense and provide you with the best advise.
