Dear questioner,

Based on the information provided, I would like to answer your request as follows:

1.
According to Section 1610 Paragraph 2 of the German Civil Code, the obligation of a parent to maintain a child covers the entire life requirement, including the costs of adequate prior education.

I assume that the adoptive son in question has vocational training.

2.
The adoptive son then has to pay for his own living.
