Visitation after adoption

[font=arial][COLOR=darkred][SIZE=3][i]I liive in Florida. My boyfriend has a 1 yr old son with another woamn. he has not seen the baby since he was 3 days old. He is not listed on the bbirth certificate and is not sure of the whereabouts of his ex and child. he heard a rumor that the baby may be in foster care or been adopted. First question- how does he go about finding his ex and getting vistitaion.
#2 if the baby was adopted or in foster care can he still have visitation?

If he never took any steps to establish paternity and never registered in your state's Putative Father Registry (if you have one, as Indiana does), then the child can be adopted out from under him, without his permission.

If the child is in foster care and no petition to adopt has been filed yet, he might still have a chance.

But if he has failed to do those things mentioned above and the petition to adopt has been filed, then it can proceed without his blessing.

Furthermore, if the adoption has already gone through, he does not have any legal standing to enforce visitation.

If it is merely a foster care situation, he might be able to do that AFTER he establishes paternity.

If he's serious about this, he needs to consult with an attorney quickly.

If he doesn't care or doesn't act, then all might be lost (if it's not already).
