Because of relationship with Adam, yes the fall is Universal, but we are not related to Christ.

Romans 5 10

For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

M> Now, this sounds to me like even God's enemies are reconciled to him. But that indeed there is some special reconciliation for believers.

Paul wrote this NOT to everybody but only to the believers in Rome who were at one time enemies of God.

Rom 1:1-8
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God--
2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David,
4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. (NIV)

Through spiritual adoption, True Christians do become sons by adoption and are related to Him in that way.
