If the biological mother showed up one day to try to take the child, you could refuse to let the child go but you would have to immediately file a modification with the Court and ask that they order counseling before allowing the child to go with the biological mother.
You could also file for your wife to adopt the child. This would mean terminating the rights of the biological mother, but you may have grounds to do so if she has been away for three years, not seen the child and has not paid child support. An attorney would have to closely evaluate the facts of your case to know whether filing for termination and adoption is a good option for you.
