More details to this question:
I'm 53 years old and my parents that raised me never did legally adopt me. My stepdad has passed away but my stepmom wants to make it legal and I too want to pursue this. My mom spoke with an attorney in the state she lives in (New Jersey) however they said this would be something that would have to be done in Florida since this is where I reside now. Do you represent cases like this?

yes, adult adoptions are relatively simple in Florida. Would your step-mom be willing to come to florida for the final hearing? If not, that is ok too, she can appear by phone.
the only requirement that you need for the adoption is to let your biological parents of the hearing date, if they are still alive.
If you don't know where your biological parents are at this time, it gets a little bit trickier but still doable.
