Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

20 year old adult adoption

We have a 20 yr old daughter who moved in with neighbors and said she did a ''legal adult adoption'' and changed her name to theirs so she could get on to their medical insurance. Is this legal? And what is a legal adult adoption within the U.S.?
