Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

My daughter was adopted by her grandparents. She will be 18 in 2 months and has expressed to me certain conditions in which she has been living that is not healthy to her life. I do not have parental rights due to the fact that her grandparents adopted her. She wants to live with me, are there any laws preventing that? Can I go to jail for having her? What can I do so she can stay with me legally
