How can I find out if my husband's ex has remarried and if my child was adopted in Poland?

Questioner

My husband has a 13-year-old child with his ex-partner in Poland. They were not married, but my husband did acknowledge the child. During the divorce, an amount of child support was agreed upon, which we faithfully transfer every month. However, there has been no contact with the ex and the child for years. We suspect that the ex has remarried and that the new partner has adopted the child. However, we have never received any information about this. How can I find out if this is the case?
