Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

My friend had his daughter when he was 16. She was immediately taken away from him to live with the baby's mother. He had a pretty heavy juvenile record at the time. Eventually OCY deemed the mother unfit and placed her in foster care system. He is now 18 and wants custody of his daughter. Recently he received mail stating his daughter was placed for adoption and was told there was nothing he could do. is there any hope for him?
