Legal Question in Immigration Law in Missouri

immigration
I am an overseas adoptee by 2 US born citizens. I entered as a permanent legal resident. My parents failed to file N600 or N643 at that time, before I was 18. I filed now for myself, and was denied, because of the that reason. It appears that a biological child/adult may still file an N600 and be approved. There is a statement on the current N600 form that states a person may file at anytime during his or her lifetime. It does not clarify adopted though. Why can I cannot qualify still, isn't a legally adopted child considered the same as a biological child after the adoption is finalized? The beginning of the form also states the form is for a biological child, adopted child, or by action of law. Can you also provide any information, about the current N600 form and for the previous law and N600 form 1958 -1978 that I may file an appeal because I feel I should be eligible, or other pertinent information (I am also on a time limit of less than 30 days now to appeal - please respond ASAP) Also what should I file if I can't claim citizenship through my parents?
