While 18 is legally an adult, there are many factors to consider as a human being and as a mother, especially about how your actions may impact them and their family if they are still living as a child at home with parents as providers, regardless of their legal status. (grade in school, general maturity, the history of the adoption, present circumstances, how you came to be in contact now, nature of the contact between you and her parents...etc.)
Many people here have been through (and are going through) all different iterations of this situation and could potentially offer some valuable advice, if you could offer more details about your specific situation. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The details matter in what the best course of action may be.
Would you mind sharing a little more?
