Yes. Adoption is basically the same legal process, whether the individual is a child or an adult. During the adoption hearing, any existing legal relationships with biological or custodial parents are severed.
Yes. In America, some states allow adult adoptions and often it is an easier process than adopting a child. But if an adoption is taking place to make one eligible for US citizenship, the cutoff age is 16.
There is no legal upper age limit. However, agencies do look for adopters who have the physical and mental energy to care for demanding children and who will continue to have this energy once the child is a teenager.
While there is really no age limit on adult adoptions, these situations typically occur when the person is between the ages of 18-21. Each country has its own restrictions on the age that a potential adoptee must meet in order to be adopted.
If you want to adopt someone who is 18 or older (the adult), you may be able to do so through the adult adoption process. You may be an unrelated individual with an ongoing parent/child type of relationship with the adult.
