You need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction. While this type of adoption is possible in some jurisdictions, a number of states still frown upon second-parent adoptions by unmarried couples. You need to consult with a local attorney who specializes in adoption. In Utah, for example, co-habitating couples who are not married are prohibited from legal adoption.

It is harder than when a "married couple" choose to adopt, but not impossible. It can depend on more than your marital status, you have to be financially stable, emotionally stable, etc., to adopt. It also depends on the state you're in and the adoption agencies' policies.

When do you use adoptive and adopted in a sentence?

They are both adjectives, and "adopted" can be a verb as well. "Adoptive" modifies the person who is doing the adopting, e.g. "The adoptive mother." "Adopted" as an adjective modifies the person being adopted, as in "My adopted son." Adopted can also be the past tense of a verb, e.g. "I adopted my son in 2007." And to use both in one sentence: "The adoptive mother adopted her adopted son in 2007." Ta-da!
