Unless you abandoned the child and the mother had no way to reach you, they could not have done a step-parent adoption without your consent, or bringing you into court to terminate your parental rights (nearly impossible to do unless you harmed the child and were a threat to do it again).

You should have received papers from someone. As Mr. McCormick points out, this isn't something that happens in your absence.
