The answer

Adoption is forbidden by Islamic law, and the adopted person does not acquire the rulings of mahramiyyah (being an unmarriageable kin). Therefore, the adopter must repent and restore matters to their true state. Your wife is a stranger to this adopted man, and she must observe the in front of him. Continue to advise her kindly, while exercising the qawamah (guardianship/authority) that Allah has granted you. If she does not respond, she is nashiz (recalcitrant), and you may seek the help of sensible family members for advice. If she persists in her stubbornness, consider divorcing her, and do not forget to supplicate for her righteousness.
