Odd question I’m sure.

My stepdad married my mom when I was 15. He has never naturalized as an American citizen, but I was able to sponsor him for his green card since US law considers him my parent.

Is there a way I can get UK citizenship from him? I’m not legally adopted, but he’s been my stepdad since I was 15, over a decade now.

Nope. You are over 18 so the family visa wouldn’t apply. Your only options are skilled worker, student, high potential visa or marriage/fiance visas. More information can be found on r/UKvisa
