Former NFL player Michael Oher claimed that he was never legally adopted

I suppose I also wonder if it's not more likely that they really did love and welcomed him into their family...juuuusssst not as an equal member. It strikes me as far more likely that they were hesitant to put Oher on an equal legal footing with their children for estate succession purposes. And that might be even more emotionally hurtful to Oher than their trying to skim some money off from his future success.

Personally I don't really like the Touhys, but I am inclined to believe that they were never about hurting him. Maybe THEY got some bad legal advice that lead to the conservatorship that's leading to this whole confusion that now has lead Michael to believe that they never cared about him. Either way, he's the loser in this.
