Answer 1

If he is over 16 he can live where he likes - I am assuming he is over this age because otherwise he wouldn't be in hostels and would be made to go home.

I would suggest you speak to a solicitor/CAB if he is under 16 and then to social services.

Answer 2

If an adoption is disrupted why shouldn't the natural parents have the chance to reconnect with their child. There is actually a similar case under review in the United States. I would contact a lawyer...this child should not be left out living in youth hostels all alone. See what you can do to bring your child home.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

If his adoption has been disrupted, you might be able to apply to get your rights re-instated.   Contact a GOOD family law attorney, and his caseworker.
