Not now she is 18, not in UK anyway.
you have to apply before the age of 18, I think.
What a nice vote of confidence - pity if the law denies it.
If she can't be adopted as such, which I don't think she can as an adult, she can change her surname and you can all have a 'Linda's new name' party ...or something similar.
As an adult it would be pointless anyway. If she has a good relationship with her step-dad, that should be what's important.
As before you can't adopt an adult in this country

Thanks for your answers I did read about 18 but wasn’t sure if there was a “loop hole”
She already has her step fathers surname when we married I changed it. We were going to apply for adoption (when she was 9) but didn’t want to make contact with her biological father to open a can of worms that didn’t need opening, now wished we did as it’s too late
