If your ex and her present husband have adopted the boy, he's not your legal responsibility any more, and you can drop the medical insurance; probably, in most states, you wouldn't be able to keep him on your coverage if you wanted to, since he's no longer legally related to or dependent on you. If you were paying child support, that should be done with as of the date of the adoption as well.
