Gorlois can't be Morgause's father because Gaius and Uther referred to Morgana and Morgause as half sisters. Before Morgause and Morgana knew that Uther was Morgana's father, they too thought that they were half sisters - either through Gorlois or Vivienne at that point of time.

After the reveal they still referred to each other as sisters. Which makes Vivienne the only parent they are related through because Uther wasn't Morgause's father. If they thought that Gorlois was their father they wouldn't have called each other sister anymore after the reveal (Uther being Morgana's father).

I don't think that Gorlois adopted Morgause, given that she was smuggled out of Camelot as a baby. Obviously, she lived a life outside her mother's and Gorlois' home, so no need to adopt her. Gorlois probably didn't even know she existed.

Why she was smuggled out, well, that's the big question.
