There are a lot of things in this world that you can get for free. In a way you can adopt a star for free. There are some companies or organizations that offer that. You even get a free certificate.
Usually you can adopt a white dwarf or neutron star, but most of the time you won't get accurate coordinates. It's hard to find your star without them in the night sky.
There is no guarantee that you will be able to see it, because it might not be bright enough in the recipient's location. These kinds of services are there for fun - you won't get an official certificate, nor your star's accurate location.
If you want to help astronomy research,you can adopt a star to fund it(or support educational programs) or adopt a star for a charity project for all sorts of purposes. These have very noble intentions that anyone can assist. This won't get you a chance to adopt a star for free, but you will be doing a good deed. Because you can always spend money on something meaningless, but when you adopt a star for astronomy research - you are making the world a better place.
