Just wondering, who took away your rights? Were you involved with cps? I will see if I can find some information for you as to where you can start looking. If you had your rights taken away I dont know if they would still let your child make a decision to be with you. I'm not sure about this. There are alot of similar stories like yours on this website and maybe someone there can help you. Type in this link on your web browser and it will take you there. http://forum.fightcps.com Once you get there, go to "cps investigations", click on that and post your question and someone will help you. Good luck.

If you call CPS they may tell you.  If your parental rights have been terminated, however, they do not, and should not tell you where she is.  I know it sounds harsh, but do you think it's best for her to see you?  Or is it just what you want? 

Dear Earthangel.........very seldom am I speechless. I want to show you compassion first but then my other thought is you want to track your daughter down at 12 like you said such a crucial age to POP back into her life. Anyway........firstly when you get your rights taking away you know longer have rights to the child. If your child ened up in CPS/DHS is not a great sign.  The person who adopted her IF she's adopted might choose to have a CLOSED adoption or hey maybe even OPEN.  

Only GOD knows why your child ended up in fostercare...........but sadly your considered the bad guy........some will think she needs to be protected from birth parents because as you know some children have truly been aBUSED......NEGLECTED etc. 

My kids have been so damage by their birth parents so I'm careful. I have reached out to three birthmoms. One seems to have mental problems the other still on drugs. I am close with a birth grandmother she ended up being a Christian. I'm all for open adoption but I don't give out my phone number or town etc. 

Hey if you are doing well now ........GREAT......If I were you and she ahs been adopted start a daily journal expressing your thoughts buy a present everybirthday etc. (Put them in the attic) When she turns 16 buy her a James Avery Sweet 16 necklace. She'll know you were thinking of her all along. 

Please.....when and if you meet up with don't lie to her........my 7 kids mothers say their innocent. again........you might be that one person that was innocent and lost your kids.......I have watched CPS work hard to reunite my kids with their birth parents (except for 3) they gave the parents PLENTY of time to get in together. I realize how hard it is but I have watch CPS.........I ahve a 7 good experiances yes..........I think they should have TPR parents fastier were taling about innocent childrens lives.  

Well hang in there!!!!! Do you have her SS#? She might be in fostercare still not many people want to adopt 12 year olds......sadly.  I set out to adopt older children I was surprised with one newborn angel. <grin> 

Again in there!!!!!!!!!!
