Well, if the adoptive parent is abusive and the biological parent is stable and able to provide a loving home, then I'd say that there's a very strong moral case for the biological parent being the 'real' parent. After all, if a biological parent is abusive, and a child is given a loving, stable foster/adoptive parent then its perfectly understandable (and indeed highly desirable) that they might start to regard the non-bio parent as their 'real' mother or father.

In the real world people who have been abused, neglected, or otherwise treated poorly by adoptive parents often view finding their biological mother as a way of getting the loving parental relationship they've been denied (which may cause a great deal of heartache in cases where the biological mother simply isn't able to provide this). Children who've experienced the same at the hands of their biological parents may come to regard a grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle as their 'real' parental figure.

Essentially I'm a firm believer that parents, biological or otherwise, only have the right to consider themselves as such as long as they fulfil their parental duty. If they don't then they have no right to complain if the child casts them off in favour of somebody who will.
