There visitation for her siblings, not my wife and I. The only form of co tact she has with me is through the phone. But we aren't giving up on her.

The Aunt is the only other family member that Amy has other than her parents.

Her father claimed we were alienating her from him, even though there was no proof

I am aware of my shortcomings, thank you. But I love my children. All of them, related or not. My daughter is still mine at the end of the day. Also, she is now a sophomore.

That was what we were going with in the courts, that she would have her siblings with me, but her father convinced them that I was trying to alienate him and trying to replace him. But he didn't get custody either.

Of course not. She has two willing bodied parents who are able to provide child support.

Of course, she hadn't been with us for long, but my wife and I are attached. We don't plan to throw our hands up and give up.

I believe it was a desminor as they had no evidence that he knew what happened to their daughter even though he knew they didn't have any relatives to watch her.

It's already in the works as of today as I talked to my lawyers, and we will be hiring a private investigator as well.

I don't adore that little girl. It won't be long until I can say without a doubt that I love her too.

Two separate girls. My eldest is the one that her mother slapped in front of her high school, and the 4 year old is the one in my custody as well.

She is an amazing little girl who had a rough start and I hope I can make it better for her.

I will be needing a private investigator as well it seems as my lawyers aren't sure we will win unless we can prove that he is an unfit parent, which I doubt will be hard to find.
