As far as this episode, it is a tragedy for all parties involved, but the father, while pitiable is acting selfishly -- his biological child is now a tween and completely bonded with his adoptive parents -- he should be seeking visitation rights, but not looking to uproot the child from his family and friends at this point in the child's life. He is also setting himself up to be resented by his son. I don't believe the courts had a choice, but the biological father did -- and he choose what made him for feel better and not what his son wanted.
As for the grand-parents, also selfish. Why in the world they thought they should be given custody of a 12 year old over the biological father or adoptive parents. Again, once they knew their grandson would be well taken care of by either adoptive or biological father, they should stepped in the background until custody was determined and then sought visitation
