Once a child is in state custody I don't think the mother has a say in who adopts the child. However, you may be allowed to meet the adoptive parents.

In most Western countries, the courts will decide who has custody, based on the best interests of the child and normally without regard to religious beliefs of either parent. However, based on submissions received, the court can make directions as to the religious upbringing of the child. The default position is that the mother will have custody and the father will have defined access rights.
