Can I fix his papers even though he older than me and what do I do to get it fixed?

The fact that he is older than you should not prevent you from filing a petition for your boyfriend, once you are married. However, depending on how he entered the U.S. (with a visa, entered illegally, etc.) he may have to go through consular processing in Mexico. Consular processing can be complicated and I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is properly presented so as not to delay the process.

Unfortunately, you are too old to be adopted for immigration purposes. However, there may be other ways for you to join your father.

Should I still apply for a working permit if I already have one?

If you already have a work permit issued through DACA, you are not required to apply for another work permit on the basis of your application for adjustment of status. However, it may be advantageous for you to do so because there is no separate fee for the application when you submit it at the same time or subsequent to the filing of your I-485 application. There is also no fee to renew the permit every year as long as the I-485 application is still pending with USCIS.
