Hello. If there is a bureaucrat who has been active in the last 60 days, then we cannot help with adoption/rights - it's up to him. Bureaucrat rights really just give you the ability to promote other users, so you could just try asking him to give admin rights to whoever you want to promote rather than asking for the bureaucrat rights.

If he is just a sysop, then yes, you can make an adoption request. You would need to have a community discussion (blog or forum will work) and also would need to leave an explicit message for him and any other admins active in the last 60 days explaining that you plan to adopt the wikia to gain bureaucrat rights.

Let me know if you have any further questions!
