You will need an attorney to have a fair chance at getting the child back.
But, if you are on good terms with the baby's father, he stands a better chance.
Did the father ever agree to the adoption or temporary custody?
If not, the father could make very BIG trouble for anyone involved in the "adoption".
I don't understand how your mother emancipated you.
Only a court can do that.
Were you legally emancipated, or did mom just not make a stink about you leaving home?
well the father was 20 when i was 14 so my mom pressed charges and later my mom had him sign his rights over. also she was a probation officer so she had friends in the system and i never had to go to court for the adoption or my emancipation but i have the paper that i am legally emancipated.

If the child was legally adopted, you're no longer the parent.
You really, really need an attorney to help you get through this mess and to find out whether it was a change in custody or an actual legal adoption.
There's a huge difference!

You absolutely NEED an attorney. You can't do this without one.
