Amancipated child
I at 23 gave up my rights as a parent and allowed my girfriend at the time fiancee to adopt my daughter. Now at age 39 i have found my daughter and she wants to meet me and she wants me o be her dad, She is now 16 years old. My ex-girfriend has since been divorced and re-married. My Ex has from what i understand no dealing with her ex-husband. I want my daughter in my life, I made a terrible mistake when i was younger and have always known her where abouts through detective services i hired to keep tabs. I waited for her to be 16 years old. My daughter has known about me since she was approx.11 years old. I found her on wednesday night 12/13/06 and i speak to her everyday at least three times, she says she loves me and calls me dad. I am ready to do what is necessary to be her dad. I want to change the birth certificate back to my name as her biological father. What can i do? Please help me. Her mom is being less than co-operative.

Contact me regarding this matter; it may be complicated if there was an adoption by your ex-girlfriend's ex-husband, but it is not impossible.
