Legally, yes, but:
Well I would first ask myself "Would I be able to support a child and give he/she a stable and safe home?". When being considered for an adoptive parent the adoption agency would look into how well you can provide for the child, do you have a job? A home? Can you financially support a child?
There would be a lot of hesitation to allow an 18 year old to adopt a child, because you're barely an adult.
Take a step back and make sure you know what you'd be getting into. Can you REALLY provide a SAFE, SUPPORTIVE, HAPPY, home for this child?

∙ 13y ago- You can be adopted up to the age of 18 when you are no longer considered a minor. If you are with parents that are mistreating you as far as verbal or physical abuse then it would go to Child Aid in order for them to prove to the courts that you are indeed in a poor environment and then you may be put into a foster home or, grandparents or another relative could look after you or even adopt you if they so choose; this also includes an older brother or sister over the age of 18 and can prove they can provide a good environment as well as a good education.
