Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

If a child is adopted as an infant, then the adoptive parents give the child back to the birth mother and her and her current husband re-adopt the child, changing his name...is it legal as that child, once he becomes an adult, to continue using both identities? For example (1st adoption,child's name is legally changed to John Smith; 2nd adoption when given back to the biological mother, child's name is changed legally to Adam White). The child's legal name is Adam White, but he's been using both identities (birth certificates and social security numbers) to obtain work, hide criminal record under the legal name of Adam White, so he refers back to John Smith which he applies for credit cards under, purchases assets, signs rental agreements, etc. He lives as two completely different persons, yet he is the only person that has ever had legal right to either of those identities and different times in his life. Please help...

You need to post this question, without the personal names, in the family law section as this is not a criminal matter.
