Do you think he isn't bonded to the adopted child? Please read!?
I think coming to the conclusion that his seeming disinterest is solely based on the child being adopted is a tad myopic. There could be a million reasons why he is not as gung-ho after the adoption as he was when the child was just a concept. Many men are not as all-over the day-to-day challenges of being a parent as women. Some parents are not as enamoured with infants/toddlers as they are with older children. He could very well become more involved when his son is old enough to actually do things with him and communicate. I'd be curious to know about the kind of parent he was with his twin daughters when they were his son's age. As he stated that he forgot about all the tasks involved with being a parent, I ume he is older and again some parents feel drained by the 101 mundane tasks that are an important part of parenting. As he was adopted himself, perhaps this transition is bringing some latent feelings about his past to the forefront and he's having difficulty processing them and perhaps transferring them onto his son. Sadly, it is possible that he feels a distance with a child not biologically attached to him, but I hope that given time, they will bond and he will be the father his son deserves.
