You would have gotten notice of a petition to terminate your rights. Her new spouse would be unable to adopt without your rights being terminated either by your consent or a Judge's Order.

However, people have broken those rules before, stated they don't know where Dad is, and "gave notice" by publication in a newspaper. I recommend meeting with an attorney to discuss. You may also go by your county health department and pick up a certified copy of the birth certificate for some peace of mind. If you've never been to court for this child to determine custody, visitation and child support, it may be time to consider that. An attorney can advise you on that in a consultation and I recommend you make one with an attorney of your choosing.
