since there is no actual blood only a piece of paper that says adoption by the parents not by the uncle.

I'm not sure there are any laws preventing someone from marrying an uncle or cousin related by blood, let alone simply by adoption.
I know some 2nd cousins that were married in Florida, and there were no rules preventing it. Certainly, in the case of close blood relatives (1st cousins) there are risks of genetic problems with children, but I still don't think there are laws that prevent the marriages, except maybe in the case of direct family members (brother/sister).

You can, however, it may not be advantageous. When the person is adopted by a family, then they are considered as good as blood. Marrying an uncle is a conflict and should be avoided. I would assume that there are tons of other people that this person could get involved with, so marrying a underlined relative can cause a lot of grief.
Humans have enough problems to deal with, why add another issue.

Adopted children are subject to the same marriage rules as blood children - so if it would be illegal for blood relations to marry, it is illegal for adopted relations to marry. Everybody who said otherwise is wrong.
But is it illegal to marry one's uncle? In almost all cases, the answer is yes. The closest blood relationship that is allowed to marry (and even then not all states agree) is first cousins. Uncles are closer than first cousins so such a marriage is illegal.
Adoption doesn't change the legality one bit.

Well, it's true that there isn't any blood between them so technically it's not incest. However it is still pretty disgusting, and a poor way to repay the people who were kind enough to adopt.
Whether there's blood or not, marrying an uncle is a sick thing to do.

Even though it's possible, it might not be socially or morally accepted by friends and family.
