No impediments, provided there has been a valid adoption as per the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act .

There is a set procedure of adoption under Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act and that procedure has been followed in your case then such suit for declaration can be filed and in the given circumstances there is no legal hurdle for doing so.

I understand from your querry that you do not have valid adoption deed.If you have adoption deed, there is no need for declaratory suit of status.Otherwise you may file declaratory suit of your status as adopted son.
