If you are living with adoptive parents but would rather live with a biological parent, I would suggest that you talk to your adoptive parents about it and see if some agreement can be reached. As a teenager you are old enough to be ready to at least start making your own decisions about how you want to live your life. But if your adoptive parents don't agree, I wouldn't advise you to fight about it - at least, not unless they are physically abusive, in which case you can apply to the courts for a legal remedy. Of course, by the age of 18 you will legally have the right to live where you choose and associate with whom you choose.

Can a teenager file for a divorce from one parent?
In most cases, a teenager cannot file for divorce from a parent. Family law typically grants parental rights to the married couple, not to the child, so the teenager would not have legal standing to file for divorce. However, if there are exceptional circumstances of abuse or neglect, the teenager may be able to seek legal emancipation from a parent with the help of a lawyer.
