OP, you are making this about you and your needs rather than your husband. Understand that there are all kinds of emotions on both sides and as others have said, placing a child is not easy. Nor, are all adoptions done in an ethical way, so this may have not been a voluntary placement or something else.

Agree not everyone is tech savy. We adopted our child and have a very open relationship with some family. Grandfather does not email or use the internet at all. Everything goes through Grandma or Aunt. Its not a big deal. He loves our child just the same (as he does us).

I agree about suggesting counseling. As an adoptee, I struggle with attachment and trust. I had very loving adoptive parents and truly love them. But deep down, I'm very fearful. It doesn't really surprise anyone if you think about the fact I spent 14 months as a baby in an orphanage. My point is that this is a sensitive subject for your husband, he may easily feel slights and rejection and it's ok for him to find an expert to help him through this process.
