I would not advise you to try to go directly to the child just because they are 18. It's still very young. Even if it's just to find out if they really don't want to- if they don't, that extra push from you before they are ready will likely push them further away or anger the aparents. Do you have a legal right to go to the child directly after they are 18? Yes. Will it produce the best result or fastest reunion? Probably not.

Do your best to make the aparents your friends and allies because it will be much easier on the child if you do. Make sure you've made every attempt to work with them before you go around them, then your conscience will be clear and they will have no reason to resent or fear you.

In the meantime, make yourself easy to find. If the child wants to find you, they will when they are ready. The internet makes it so easy, if you want to be found. Or wait a few more years before you contact the child directly. You are more likely to have a successful reunion at 21 than at 18. In the meantime maybe you can send a letter to the attorney to forward to the aparents letting them you know you would welcome contact and hope for pictures or information even if the child is not ready yet. Give them your contact information and send your love. It may take more than a month for them (including your child) to really digest it all, be resolved and ready to take any action.

God bless you as navigate whatever lies ahead.
