No. It makes no difference whether one co-owner is in contact with his/her other co-owners. Ownership is not lost by falling out of contact.

Once the gift deed for joint ownership was recorded your foster daughter became an owner of the property. Since she is an owner of the property she will have to sign any new deed changing ownership to the property.
