I usually tell people in any situation when they are unsure of their rights to contact an attorney to see what they are. I suspect that the adoption is finalized and there is probably nothing you can do to "overturn" it (even if you wanted to....which others said probably would not be the "best" thing to do...I am an adoptive parent, so I am revealing my own bias!). I am sorry that you did not know about the pregnancy or adoption plan. I think every state has some kind of "law" on how it deals with terminating an "unknown" birth father's rights...either through a putative fathers' registry, publication in a newspaper, etc.
I also suggest that you think about trying to reach out to the child's a parents if you are interesting in getting to know them or your child. (I am assuming this is "you," and not a hypothetical). Good luck.
