If you are asking about a step-parent adoption the answer is yes, but you have to have the permission of the parent you are replacing thus they give up all rights to the child. It can be difficult but if it's in the best interest of the child the courts will allow it.
adopt parents are parents (mom, dad) that adopt a child/children... the child/children are NOT the parent's biologal child/chidlren, they had their REAL parents before but hey might have passed away or whatever... soemtimes a couple might adopt domeone in their family, a niece, nephew, cousin, etc.
Yes it is possible for a step parent to adopt their significant others child. The process is done with the help of a judge.
If the parent or parents are able to manage themselves perfectly fine without the child being a hindering problem, then the parent or parents have the right to adopt that child (some tests may be given.)
In most cases, a non-biological parent cannot adopt a child without the birth parent's consent. The birth parent's signature is typically required for the adoption to proceed unless their rights have been terminated by the court due to specific reasons, such as abandonment or unfitness.
No. When you leave a child for adoption the papers you sign mean that you are legally prevented from being that child's parent again. The final decision on who will adopt a child is the courts even if the adoptive parents say yes in this case. The adoption can be reverted so the child is up for adoption again if they feel they are not his parents but the biological parents can not adopt him.
Adoption is usually used to establish a legally accepted parent-child or custodial relationship. If your sister-in-law is a minor without custodial parents, it might be possible to adopt her, but as your child, not as your sister. Consult an attorney familiar with adoption law in your area, petition the courts and see if it works.
Not legally possible, but would be a beautiful thing if it could happen.

You can adopt as a single parent but as a couple you have to be married.
No
Your parents are responsible for you. Unless they are willing to give up their parental rights you cannot adopt yourself out. The court has to sever their relationship with you first.
Once adopted the child becomes a part of that family just as if they were born into it. If the adoptive parents die the socialworkers will ask the relatives and if they can not the child will go to foster care and up fpor adoption again. But the birth parents can never adopt the child back.
