I don't think so. However, she should be able to do it after she turns 18.

Your daughter must be at least 21 years old to petition for her father. If she was born outside of wedlock, she must prove that she was legitimized by her father before she turned 18.

In order to petition a parent, the child has to be at least 21 years of age and must be able to prove (birth certificate) that the parent for whom the petition is being submitted is, indeed, her biological or adoptive parent. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.
