As CCodyy said - the adoption was by Mobysteca03, who then promoted them in turn. It does not appear to be a mistake in the adoption itself. And once the adoption has finished the new bureaucrat may promote whomever they wish, just like any other bureaucrat on a wiki.

If the rest of the community does not agree, then they would need to have a community vote to restore different users to staff. In such a vote, it is users with a contribution history who are counted; not those with no history on the wiki itself.

I see that the PT helper has also responded to your message, so I hope that your questions have been answered.
