Unhappy

Reversing an adoption less than 2 months old.


Florida - Broward County

I grew up in foster care since the age of about 3 and have no family to turn to for help. When I became pregnant at the age of 19 the bio father bailed out on me. I struggled and finally had enough of it all. I was also in an physically and emotionally abusive relationship. The only way I thought to get out was to give my daughter up for adoption. I signed the papers April 11th, 2003. My daughter, Alaye', was sent with them on April 13th, 2003. I was naturally depressed for a while. The family promised to keep in touch, let me see her and speak to her but that was all lies. The Florida law allows 3 days for revoktion. About 3 weeks to the day I finally got in touch with my bio sister in California. She is a social worker and said she can help me if I wanted to. She wrote a letter that I certified mailed to the lawer. She will help me get a lawyer to file to get her back under the duress law. I didn't really know what that was. I only saw it as a way out of my situation. But, to be truthful I am not making the money to pay bills, daycare, utilities, food, cloths and everyday expenses. I need some help with this. I don't know where to start. The lawyer is required to send me any further court hearings but he hasn't. He doesn't even take my calls anymore. I am pretty desperate to hurry up with this. I have the chance to start over with the help of my sister but I feel my time is running out. Any help is greatly appreciated!
