I have adopted a kid back in my country got here on B1B2 and adjusted my status through my marriage/husband. My green card has been approved can i sponsor my adopted kid on green card or I have to be citizen for that. Kid name was included on my I-485 and I-30 pls advice what kind of documents i will be needing. I have adoption deed from notary public
 
It depends on a few things.

What country did this adoption take place? Was it legal? Was it a "family adoption" (sibling, niece, nephew, cousin)? Was the child from an orphanage?

Did you have LEGAL custody and actually live with the "child" for a full two years AFTER getting legal custody and/or adoption? Did the natural parents remain a part of the child's life? Were YOU the one signing report cards, taking the child to the Doctor, providing support, helping with homework, and acting in all respect the same as any other parent towards that child? IF YES, can you prove it?

Is your spouse an LPR (lawful permanent resident) or a citizen (most likely)?

Did your marriage happen when the child was under age 18? Under 16? Did your USC spouse also adopt the child?

Your possibilities will depend on the answers.
