"Whoever" or "whomever" follow the same rules as "who" and "whom". And they follow the same rules as "he" or "him". Put "whom" whereever you would put "him"; "who" goes where "he" goes.

whomever would be more formal, but neither is wrong. Whoever can always replace whomever, but whomever can never replace whoever. So if you're not sure, just use whoever and it can't be wrong :)

Whoever
the reason is you can ask the question "Who chose to adopt him?" They did. They is a nominative pronoun.

Whomever.
It's more formal.
Who i doesn't work grammatically and whom is to short, also is singular more so than whomever.
