So my question is, do I send my own bank accounts?
Yes. I think you should use your own statement. It will be a lot stronger application if the child is funded by his parents than anyone else. Even though the balances may be small, it doesn’t cost much to take care of a child living with his grandparents. In my estimation even if you have £1000 or £1500 in your account it is sufficient. What is critical is you must include a cover letter explaining things. An adopted child going to visit his British grandparents accompanied by his adoptive British mother. Make it clear this is a visit. No mention of applying for citizenship for him later etc. Make it clear at this time Bolivia is your home and remains your home for the foreseeable future.
Or do I have my mum, his grandmother, sponsor his visit?
No. See above.
And if I were to send my own bank statements, would it help his case to state that I intend to work while in the UK?
I don’t think it is helpful to mention you will work in the UK. That usually implies building a life there, then suddenly they think what if she decides to stay. Not a good look.
