    Nope, she's considered a legal adult and as such responsible for herself.

    There are only two reasons to adopt an adult. Either for inheritance purposes of because the adult is not mentally capable.

    In the first case, you can simply mention them in your will. In the latter, you can obtain a legal guardianship.
