Have you contacted Children's Friends and Services to see if they have a Post Adoptive Services Department? The agency that handled my adoption had this department and the social worker was very helpful. I recently exchanged letters and pictures with my bfather.
Thesearchguru has posted search resources for each state. Here's the information for Rhode Island. Best of Luck to you! :)
