Your question is somewhat confusing. If you are a legal resident, why would you need to be sponsored for residency. The law about when a adopted child may be sponsored is complex and if you were adopted as an adult, you would be ineligible. If you were adopted as a child, then it depends on when and how the adoption was finalized and the manner in which you entered the country. I would recommend consulting with an immigration attorney to discuss the specific details of your case.
