Yes, you most definetly can get a number for her. She is a legal resident and definetly qualifies for a number. You will have to show her green card (and a lot of other paperwork as well, so take whatever you have.) After you have completed her readoption she will be a US Citizen (instead of a legal resident) and you will have to go back and change her status with Social Security. Sak9645 has an awesome post about this somewhere that I will hunt up for you. LOTS of totally confused people at the IRS. ;)
