No, it is not legal.
You would have to either have the gay parents relinquish rights or prove them to be unfit parents. Your birth mother gave up her legal rights when you were adopted. Since you are already 16, you might as well wait a couple years until you are a legal adult.
The adoption papers I have seen included language along the lines of making it as though the the adoptive parents were the biological parents all along; which is truly best for giving the child's new relationship the strongest bond.
In your case,however, you might try to present a respectful and convincing request with the adoptive parents to allow regular visitation or telephone communication if you believe it is "in your best interest as a child".
If they say no, a lawyer would likely consult with you for free, and put your request before a court for around $1500. Gay or not, your adoptive parents stepped up to raise you and are worthy of your respect and honor throughout the process. IF the birth mother is clean, sober, honest and mature, contacting her might do your heart some good and add balance to your life.
