My response:

As long as there is a suspension or revokation of your visitation and / or parental rights order, that order is paramount and shall be followed, without question, until changed by the court.

If your daughter should, in fact, "find her way" to you, and since you are under a "No Visitation" order, you have a duty to inform the custodial parent and / or the authorities (CPS) of the situation - IMMEDIATELY - or suffer Contempt of Court charges; which means, jail time and / or monetary sanctions against you.

In the meantime, I would merely tell your daughter of the impossibility of the situation until matters change.

Good luck.
