It seems very unlikely, on several grounds. There's a great deal of screening before an adoption, and you would not be considered old enough. International adoptions are VERY difficult- most countries don't allow children to be adopted outside the country.

Nope. The law is the law, and the law requires that you be at least 21 before adopting a child. No exceptions

that is kind of weird buddy, just be friends but even then, no 21 year has what it takes to be the father or mother of a 14 year old at all! the teen is already at the age of convincing themselves they are adults and know best for themselves and it will be a disaster! that teen is gonna want to date, go out, sex, smoke, drink, drive cars, your both way to young to be that close together any how

You cant. Just make a life together and work hard to meet up with each other and live a good life supporting each other financially and life wise
