I get the icon saying adopt a policy and I do, but after I adopt the first 3 or 4 that are unlocked, the game will not progress and I'm stuck where I am. No more turns, no more production.
I am new to the game and being there is no real manual to consult, I am at a loss.
Do I have to adopt a Social Policy when icon appears or can I ignore until later in game?

On default settings, you have to pick a social policy whenever you earn one.
That said, there ought to be plenty to choose from, unless your game has done something odd. You said the first 3 or 4 are unlocked, but unless I'm mistaken those are only categories; you can select more specific policies inside those categories as well.
