Subcutaneous injection given in inner forearm (0.8 ml, adalimumab). is that ok? is it equivalent to subcutaneous injections in abdomen and thighs?

Yes: Subcutaneous injections at different sites should all lead to the same effect - the medication is absorbed. Some sites may lead to faster absorption than others.
