Why don't you visit your daughter? IMO, there's always a problem with having someone else raise your child but certain circumstances requires certain exceptions. I'm sure your daughter's in good care with your aunt. It's certainly better than putting your daughter up for adoption... but again, why not visit her? But as I ask this, I'm assuming you are still in state and relatively (within reason) close to your daughter since there are so many colleges...

Are you in regular contact with her? Do you send any support or gifts? I would be concerned about legal abandonment...you need to find out what constitutes "abandonment" in your state and make sure you are not there... Assuming your daughter is doing well with your aunt you may leave well enough alone for now, but in the future you could be closing a door.
