Question: Does an adopted child inherit from the parents who adopted him?

Answer: An adopted child does not inherit from his adopted parents. Similarly, the adopted parents will not inherit from the adopted son.

However, the adopted parent may make a Wasiyyah (Bequest) for the adopted chuld, which will be acceptable up to a maximum 1/3 of the estate.
