How do you adopt child from previous annulled marriage?

An annulment dissolves the marriage as though it had never taken place. If two unmarried people have a child one does not need to adopt the child to be its legal parent. If it was your marriage and is your child the annulment doesn't affect your position as the child's parent. An adoption isn't necessary. You should consult with an attorney. On the other hand, if you wish to adopt a child from your present spouse's annulled marriage to another person then the child's other parent must consent to the adoption.

Is your brother's daughter through marriage your niece?

This is an unclear and rarely used phrase - "your brother's daughter through marriage." If your brother married a woman and they had a daughter, the daughter is "your brother's daughter through marriage" since the one followed the other. That daughter is your niece. If your brother married a woman who already had a daughter from a previous relationship, that daughter is your niece only if your brother adopted her. If he did not adopt her, you are not related. However, you can treat her as your niece if you want to.
