First, don't use all caps.  It makes the reader feel like they are being yelled at and you're more likely to get ignored rather than a response. 

Secondly, use proper punctuation and paragraphs.  The post is difficult to read because some periods are missing.

Thirdly, questions:

1) What summons did you respond to?  What did it say? 

2) What was the result of that summons?

3) The child is 5 months old (roughly).  Has she been with the adoptive family the entire time?

4) Have you established paternity?

Fourthly, you can make appointments with a few different lawyers for consultation usually for free.  Have a list of questions ready to ask (many here can help you with that) so that you can get legal information without having to pay out a fortune in the form of a retainer fee.
