If paternity was known, then there must have been amechanism by which yrou parental rights were terminated. If not, then you must have agreed to and consented to the adoption. If you recall neither happening, then you or your attorney should look at the legal and other file(s) for the adoption. That should reveal some of the information that you will need to assess your options relating to getting custody of the child.
