Here's the request, for reference.

Adoption is a versatile process, and users may sometimes bend the rules if appropriate. For example, users can adopt a wiki with no active bureaucrats even if there are active admins, as you're trying to do - this kinda invalidates the adoption guideline "Admins have been inactive for 60 days or more".

However, one thing that all adoptions rely on is community consensus: you've demonstrated that the primary admin has shown his consent so the best thing you could do is show that everyone else does too - or at least, show that nobody objects. Maybe make a blog post or forum thread?

Note, I'm not Staff either =P so my response is as unofficial as any.
