You need to check the laws in your state. But in reality you need to think of the child, not to say you should just give up but I would think your options are limited in what you can do right now.

If you find out you have no legal recourse...

1. Sign up for contact when the child searches for you. I think most states have some type of registry or means to do that.

2. If an adoption agency was used, sign up there as well. You could ask the agency if they would contact the parents to feel out how they would be to any type of open adoption visitation, they may be willing to contact or they may not.

3. Start a journal that you update even just on your child's birthday. Write your thoughts on missing the child, what you did that year etc...just something for the child to know you cared enough to do it.

4. When the child is old enough, put your contact info on the registry sites on the internet and keep your contact info updated.

Kind regards,
Dickons
