Quick Summary

The discussion centres on whether a couple aged 40 and 45 can adopt a 28-year-old relative. The consensus from legal experts is that adoption in the UK is generally restricted to minors under 15 years old. While some suggest custom or making a will could offer a form of guardianship, formal legal adoption of an adult is not typically permitted.

No. For adoption of a child, that child's age should below the age of 15 years.

Adoption possible it there is such custom in your family. Do not worry, Just adopt him. Love him and treat him as your son. Law is to facilitate to you and to remove difficulties and not to create difficulties. For sake of safety, make will of property in his name so that no legal lacuna remains left. There is no adverse consequence if you adopt a child over 14 year age. If adoption is invalid let it be invalid, It does not make any difficulty to you or your adopted son.
