Go to the court that handles custody and seek visitation based on changed circumstances now you are married with a family. See how that goes and if it goes well, pursue a gradual return of custody of the child to you. See if you can get an attorney to assist you pro bono thru a local bar association, but you can aslo see if Legal Services or Legal Aid can assist you.
It may take time and there should be some kind of plan, but if you eventually want to regain custody fo the child, I think that is realistic.

Try looking up the laws in your state and if you know the agency who place your son maybe that can help. Laws are different in every state. I wish you the best of luck, also there books out there for healing this kind of lost. :) my son was taken from me in januray of 99.i let my boyfriend at the time watch him and he almost killed him. now , please know that i met this man at the church i attended since a child. we met and dated when we where kids and i really thought i clould trust him. children services said was neglagent. we went through court precedings and i lost my son. i think because i was only 19 and timid to the law my child was taken away from me.i am now 27, married to a wonderful man, and have two beautiful girls. but my heart aches everyday for my only son.the father of my son is always in and out of prison and i have no attachments to any longer. i dont want to take him away from the parents that have raised him, but on the other hand i truly think if i had a good family law lawyer, i would never of lost him. i just want him to now who i am and that i love him with all my heart. please tell me what i can do now and in the near future to find my son. i live in toledo ohio and dont know adoption laws here.
