I think this is where the mistake occurs.

At the point where you declared Some_Access_Type, declare

  procedure My_Read
    (Stream : access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
     Obj : Some_Access_Type);
  for Some_Access_Type'Read use My_Read;

and also for My_Write, and all magically happens ..
