You petition the court for emancipation. If you can provide all the necessary documentation and proofs to the court, the judge will issue an emancipation order. That allows you to act as an adult on your own behalf. It does not change your age for purposes of age limited rights, such as voting or purchase of alcohol.

Can a 16-year-old who is adopted be emancipated if her dad is very controlling and doesn't let her see her boyfriend?

No. The adoption issue is irrelevant. The court would not accept an emancipation petition from a minor whose issues are she or he doesn't like their home environment because a parent is too controlling. It is mistaken that every US state allows a minor to petition for emancipation rights and an even bigger misconception that such rights are granted when a petition is filed. The reality is, emancipation is rarely granted to minors for any reason.
