Yes, you retain copyright. Read clause 5 of the Contributor Agreement that you must sign in order to create a Contributor account:

You keep the copyright. 

You give a license to Adobe.

This license lets Adobe show your image, and sell licenses to customers.

At least in the US (and many other countries from my understanding), the photographer holds on to copyright in most situations.  This includes submissions to Adobe Stock.

 

Disclaimer: I'm not an Adobe Employee, and this is my own understanding of the Contributor Agreement.
