There is completely NO law that states that your daughter has to be 18 before you can enjoy contact with her.
But, with that said, you do have to think twice because her aparents could be deceptive and sneaky and lie about your contact near your daughter in order to try and get a restraining establish (which would be the only means they would have to restrict contact on a permitted level.)
How exactly did her parents cut her off? Did they make her delete her myspace page?
My suggestion would be not to hand over up, especially for the reason that you need to show her that you are going to be there for her and quarrel now to be a part of her life. But also, be extremely, very careful to document everything you do during this time so that you have proof of your intentions in recent times in case her aparents try any other resources to keep you apart.
And, if you come up with she might still be on myspace, let me know and I might have some ways to help you speak beside her. Source(s): So sorry for what you are going through. It is obvious there was nil close to unbiased help or representation when you lost your daughter.
cantstop is 100% true on this! Just maintain in mind, when people come after your baby, They will communicate you anything to get it.
Don't listen to the individuals telling you to wait. 18 is not some magic age. If your daughter requirements you at ANY age.you can't refuse her. She obviously needs you NOW, to be precise why she sought you out. If you turned her away...it would be very devastating for her and feel like a "second rejection". It would erode her trust contained by you, and make her feel terrible and unworthy. Frankly, I construe this could be very harmful, and I would never set up a teen to take a intricate fall like that. I can't believe how lightly race are in giving this advice.
As a mother of a teen who has attempted suicides, I know how traumatic natural life can get for a teen, and you have to tread carefully. Reunion is huge, and turbulent. Being rejected for any reason, could be beyond traumatic. She already rang the bell, you can't unring it now!
I don't know the adoptive parents reluctance. Knowing you... may be very helpful for her. It may give her a sense of who she is, who she can be, and solve some identity issues she may be have. It may even help round her out and give her more self confidence and save her from acting out her grief through these heated teen years.
Her a-parents should be participating in this instead of putting up roadblocks. This is a time when everyone can grow together, and she could really use their support and approval.
As far as your rights go.legally you enjoy none. Open adoptions are a boldface lie. A lure used to get women to sign over their babies. But you already know that in a minute.
But, it is not illegal to be a mother. You need to follow your mother's heart.where your daughter have lived all these years. Source(s): Lived it.
You have no rights. The 'open' in unstop adoption is not enforceable. If the a-parents don't want contact, they can cut it off at any time. That's why open adoption is such a farce.
She knows you are in that. She will contact you probably when she is 18 and a legal adult.
Open adoption are not legally enforceable. You have no legal rights. Your daughter have the right to contact you when she is 18. Then it is up to her if she wants you in her life. You and she will be free to own a relationship.
Until then if you try to contact her, her adoptive parents could press harrassment charges against you and they could punish her.
I know it sucks, but you are going to have to wait another 2 years past you and your daughter can have a relationship.
Answers: Hi there,
Again I can with the sole purpose comment for the situation in the UK as this is where I work in the pen of adoption. The situation here is that her adoptive parents have all the parental responsibility until she is 18 years old and this is conferred to them as soon as the adoption lay down is made, prior to that it is shared by the local authority and birth parents (only in that they can contest the adoption, but rarely win as the child is usually in keeping due to child protection concerns). When a child turns 18 years they can then decide if they wish to look for their birth parents. In the UK within is a national register which covers the whole country and a child will put their name on the register if they want their birth parent to contact them. A birth parent can also put their name on this and if you budge to search and you both have your names on the register you will be put surrounded by contact with one another. As soon as both parties are on the list they system picks this up and you would be notify.
As your in the states I dont know how your system works and the sheer size of your country would mean if this kind of system exists I would come up with it would be in a state rather than a national system. The fact you live within the same state as your daughter is promising. If I were you I would make contact near your local authority for information if there is an adoption register like the one I have talk about. If your daughter wants to make contact beside you then she will clearly look into this at some point too.
Its clear you daughter wants to find you and its a shame that her adoptive parents are not supporting her in this. Dont be too firm on them though, they may feel that actually she is not emotionally mature satisfactory yet and that her education would suffer due to how emotional and confusing this may be for her as a young person. I have spoken to many adopted children who as adults own searched and most of them are glad they waited till when they did (ranging from 19 years to 30) as many read out it would have been too much to take on as a pubescent.
If your daughter is already looking for you then its clear she will make contact and she should be able to find you lacking too much trouble as she has already. If you have to wait a while for her to turn 18 later so be it, at least this way it wont upset things at home for her causing problems near her adopters.
Do look into the 'adoption register' or equivalent in your state. Social Services would be the place to find out (look for the adoption service). I hope that this helps you, i am sorry I could not be of further assistance.
Good luck in your scour and I hope that you reunification with your daughter is all you hope and wish it to be.
Best Regards

I'm so sorry this has happened and it's why I'm presently opposed to open adoption - some people will right to be heard and promise anything to get a child!
I think these people are morally incomplete and awful people and someday your daughter will know the truth of how sleazy they are.
At this point you have no legalized rights to her at all. Even if an open adoption agreement was stated within the adoption paper, it's not legally enforcable.
I'm sorry her adoptive parents didn't honor their agreement and aren't allowing her to have a relationship next to you now. however, in the eyes of the law she is their child, and they can forbid contact next to her until she is 18, and could even get a restraining order against you if they wanted to.
At this point I would tread extraordinarily lightly. You could try contacting her adoptive parents and explain that you are not trying to cause problems or "take her away", but would close to to have some sort of relationship with her if she wants. It probably won't work, but it's worth a try. Otherwise you may enjoy to wait to have contact with her until she's 18.
the only entry i can say is that since she has already made contact once she will probably do so again and after waiting all these years you with the sole purpose have two left to wait. i ruminate the idea of giving one of her friends your # or address to write you is a good idea.
im pretty sure since it be open and agreed that you would get pictures, you have the right to see your daughter, especially if she contacts you first. but...i don't know
you are the birth mother so if it isn't stated in the contract that you cant see the child then you can go ahead and reach out to them.
Im sorry hr ap's didnt hold true to their promise of an open adoption.
Did you tell your daughter that it be supposed to be open and her a parents cut you off? You should. That may change their tune a bit, because she will be furious. If you cannot contact her via Myspace, contact one of her friends on Myspace and distribute them your cell phone number in case she needs it.
As far as your paperwork go, you would have to contact the agency or attorney who handled the adoption. they may not be very willing, though. Source(s): the sad truth that open adoption is not legally enforceable
Nothing i don't have a sneaking suspicion that.
When she turns 18 she can see you all she wants, hell she could move in next to you.
18 means that you are basically an adult.
Well because it was an open adoption she should know how to do that. If they aren't allowing her to do this then there is something you can do (I'm not sure what though). And in two years theres zilch stopping her doing that anyway, if she doesn't like living there then she could move within with you.
It's her who'll have the rights if she wishes to be in touch, possibly wait til she's 18 though :)
Have sympathy and understanding for the parents seeing as they were the ones who raise her.
