After a person has crossed the age of 15 years he cannot be adopted unless there is a specific custom to the contrary in his community. So dig up a custom in your community which provides for adoption even after 15 years if you want to be adopted.

If at all your stepfather wanted to adopt you as his son, he should have done it during the age of your minority. An adult person cannot be adopted.

Even if he wants to adopt you now, the law will not permit to adopt an adult. Adoption is only for child and not for an adult.
