Hire someone to find him. It is actually pretty hard to disappear unless you really really want to disappear.
Under certain circumstances you or your attorney can petition the court to terminate the rights of the biological father without his appearance. Getting this done is not easy, but it can be done if the proper procedures are followed.
You did not indicate where in Florida you live, but if you look for a family law or adoption attorney, there should be some in your area. You can feel free to contact my office for assistance in locating an attorney to help you, or you can contact the Florida Bar Attorney Referral Service, available on their website.
