If you are a US citizen or green card holder, you might be able to petition your adotped son if you meet certain requirements. If your adoptive son has 245 (i) protection, he might apply for green card in the U.S.. If not, he would need to go back to his home country.

We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.
