All I have is the reverse. R' Gedalia Felder (Yesodei Yeshurun 2 pp
188-191) holds that an adopted child can be called up "ben Micha Shemuel",
but that this shouldn't be done when the adopting father or the son is a
kohein. In order to avoid confusion about the child's kehunah. (Or that of
a future descendent, when people vaguely remember his name years later).
I assume leviim too, but that's not in my notes.

Tir'u baTov!
