Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am a minor living in FL. My mother died June of 2005 and my father died April of 2009. I would like to be adopted by my stepmother whom I am now living with. She was given guardianship in my fathers Last Will and Testament but because she is not a "parent" I am unable to get necessary things such as a Learner's Permit or a passport. Neither of us are sure what to do in this situation. Thank you for your help.
