The only time an existing bureaucrat or admin has rights removed during an adoption is when that bureaucrat or admin had been inactive for at least a full year. I would recommend reading this staff blog post for advice on dealing with the situation. If using the methods suggested there is unsuccessful, feel free to report the problem using the form at Special:Contact/general, but be aware that staff typicially does not remove rights from active admins.
