The sadness that you will experience will lessen as time passes but you will most likely always miss your child.
I placed my child six years ago and miss him daily.

Many adoption agencies will assist you with the things that you need, and there is no time limit as far as how far along you are, I didn't even contact an agency until after I delivered my son and he was placed by the time I left the hospital.

If you choose to have an open adoption I would reccommend finding an agency that is in the state where you will be living so that you will be closer to your child, however even then there is no guarantee that the adoptive parents will live in the same place forever, so its really up to you. The most important part is that you trust the people that are helping you through this.

On a more personal note, if this is the man that you are planning to marry you may want to consider raising your child. I have a daughter now that I am raising and I feel guilty every day that I have her but gave up my son (even though there was no way that I could have given him a good life) but those feelings come. And I'm afraid of the day when he asks me why I kept her and not him.
Make sure that this is the right choice for choice that is best for you and your child.
