Contact a lawyer and file child abandonment charges . When a parent abandons their child and has not been seen or heard from for some time , amount of time depends on where you live, they loose their parental rights .
Also talk with the lawyer about a restraining order against the mother just in case she does decide to show up . It's always a good idea to cover all bases .
Best of luck .

Yes you can file for temporary custody with the abandonment stipulation. Then when you go for your custody hearing inform the judge how long it has been since you have had contact and that you have made every effort to find her, even run an ad in the local newspaper of the last known town she was living in.That pretty much raps it.
