Is there a chance to develop lotus position during adulthood?
I'm 27 and I've never stayed in lotus position my whole life, now I'm trying because I find it the best position for meditation, but I'm very inflexible. I read somewhere that it's too late to develop a lotus position at this stage but I think that if I develop proper stretching specially hip openers I can get it.
is there any step by step method to follow to get that ?

I would advise you to check Stretch Therapy from Kit Laughlin. He is one of the best person I know for improving flexibility as an adult.
Nice forums, nice resources, nice vimeos. Everything at a reasonable price. I even would like to attend one of his seminars in Europe one day.
I don't have an authoritative source, but yes, you can likely learn to do the lotus position even as an adult. Typing lotus position progression into Google gets you a number of poses and positions to work up to a full lotus. Here are a few:
Five Poses to prepare your for Lotus:
Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana)
Revolved Head to Knee Pose (Parivrivritta Janu Sirsasana)
Pigeon (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana)
Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana)
Half lotus pose (Ardha Padmasana)

Exercise 1: Foot to Thigh
Exercise 2: Butterfly
Exercise 3: Elevated Butterfly
There are also video tutorials out there, but that would require me to transcribe the contents and I'm lazy.
