Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

adoption and other child support obligations

I am in the process of adopting a 15 year old boy but I have a child support obligation to my son who resides with my ex wife. Does this have any impact on the amount of support that I currently pay for my son?Do I go back to court for an adjustment?
