If you amend your 2019 return to claim the child you can get the child-related tax credits that you are eligible for like either child tax credit or maybe earned income credit. Were you the custodial parent? If the child lived with you then you can also file as Head of Household and get the childcare credit if you paid someone to take care of the child while you worked. You will not get the stimulus check for him.
