  want to thank all of u a head of time. I am still looking for an attorney. I will never give up. I lost my parental rights in 2011. Not by choice. I never harmed my daughter of 5 and always made all the visits. I was very active in her life prior and the years after. I Love my daughter and want to be able to write or stay in contact with her. I am just wanting to be involved in her life. I have made progress in my life. Have a full time job, going to school, have a savings and life insurance for her, have letters and gifts saved for her. It hurts daily what I am going through. I admit to my poor choices in the person I was with (the mother) she needed professional help. I do hope she gets better but for myself and my daughter she should know her father loves her.

  I am requesting help if anyone knows were to file for a change in order so I can communicate with my daughter. Thanks and all of you have been of great help. This is a hard challenge for me and will never give up on my daughter. 

  I was a father who lost my parental rights in 2011.  I am trying to get my rights back and if possible before this ling process be a part of my daughters life. I am still looking for an attorney and am wondering if anyone knows of a father who regained his rights. This information can really help me. I have never hurt, or have no criminal record. As always thanks for your time, Eric

  I am a father who has lost his parental rights. I already went through appeals, and am at a good place in my life to raise my daughter. I have no criminal record, and have no harm on my daughter. I was poor and did not have housing, and was job less. I did not make the 2 year mark in CA. Other issues are the mother and me being together, but we have been separated and do not talk. I have not communicated with her for a year in a half and she has a criminal record along with rehab and jail issues. I am requesting some help to find advice or a legal representative. Thanks for your time, Eric       Sorry for the past post I was mad and emotional and directed anger towards certain workers and lawyers that did not help me.

  this is not an attack on anyone who is helping me. I thank u for all your time and help.

oh to add on my family or my mother and father got certified in VA to be able to be a guardian and or custody of my daughter Cadence. California did not take them into consideration and let the foster family at the time adopt my daughter. Again my down fall was no job and not a suitable living situation  for about a year and a half. I did get a full time job, and a house by the last two court dates and this information was not brought up. The court made this decision to adopt my daughter prior  to the progress they were just going through the motions. The mother had a big impact on the courts decision, but I was separated completely  from the mom.

I find it very hard to believe within the whole US not one case shows a father regaining his rights after their child was adopted.  If so prove it!

  I know this is not an easy task and from what advice I get everyone is telling me it is too late and I can not do anything. To refresh I lost my parental rights and am fighting to regain them. I do not understand or know it is not fair to say well that's it. My daughter is 5 and how many years does she have not seeing or speaking to me is beyond me. For me to just give up is what a a bad father would do and I am not a bad father so just to let anyone who reads this know I will not give up even if it takes representing myself because these lawyers are afraid to speak up against this terrible system. I have a right to regain my rights if they were wrongfully taken away just as a innocent man has a right to to challenge the court when wrongfully convicted. I just need a lawyer with some heart to help me with this process. If you are going to state this can not be done then don't bother to post because I know for a fact I have the right to regain my rights no matter what and yes the court does make mistakes and I am going to call the court of California out and do what it takes to regain my rights because I should not have them removed in the first place. Just to refresh I have no criminal record, I made all my visits, court dates, doctors appointments and am living in an apartment have 2 jobs, life insurance, savings and can get health insurance for my daughter of 5.  Can someone please help either with a case situation that is similar or an attorney that is not a wimp.

Sorry for the late response. I am working two jobs thanks for your response on this hard issue in my life. I did go to court, and separated from the mom. My main issue was I could not find a job and lived on a couch. The mother has mental issues and drinks while taking her medications, which makes her incapable of being a good mother. I at one time was with the mom during a time when the oldest daughter of my daughter got taken away from the state. Then I separated from the mom and did not succeed in getting a job and housing in Southern CA. I then moved North and got a full time job and a place of my own. I was doing good until an unannounced visit took place and the worker had seen I did not get rid of my pet rats. The court ordered I get rid of them. I was in the process of giving them to the neighbor which I ended up doing, but that was to late. I lost my unmonitored visits. My mom who has no criminal record and lives in a house in VA flew out to CA to try and gain custody of my daughter. My mom got approved by the state of VA and with in the 3 months she was in CA the judge did not once call her in the court room. I lost my parental rights and My daughter is adopted . This is a very short version of this horrible event. I do not deserve to have my rights taken away when I was not around the mom, I made all but 1 visit due to weather, I made it to all the doctors appointments and even though it took a lot of time my public defender did not bring up my parents enough to keep Cadence in the family, and my progress. 

I lost my parental rights and want to  regain my rights. I have no criminal record, I have not hurt, or done any abuse to my wonderful daughter. I made it to all my visits, went to all doctors appointments, and prenatal visits. I Love my daughter and am seeking a lawyer to at least stay in some sort of contact for now. Want to know my daughter is okay. Thanks and I feel no hope sometimes but pray to God and work hard to support my daughter who I don't even get to talk too. It hurts daily.
