What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
My daughter was adopted against my will by my sister and her husband in the state of Arizona. I put my child in their home where my ailing Father and Mother also live. I did so to protect her from her mother and her family. This is a sad complicated issue; because they have taken exceptional care of her. I was doing my best to design my life to be able to take care of her as a single father - so my issue is not over her care. She is loved and doing well; or at least the last time i was able to have contact with her. I met with their adoption attorney at the request of good counseling to discuss my issues with an adoption. I was not in agreement because i already had experienced serious problems with visiting my daughter and ailing father in the same home...my brother-in-law is a supreme controlling type that has never liked me and has done his best to keep me from visiting my family in any civil fashion. He has threatened my life in the past and only by the some grace have we avoided major physical conflict. During my visit to their attorney, i was told that they could not adopt her without my signature. I found out that they adopted her without any notification and i have proof that both my family and their attorney could get in touch to notify me of proceedings. Can i overturn the adoption? I love my daughter and raised her with her mother during pregnancy and birth - up until she was 6 months old...my name as the Father was on the birth certificate and the daughter did have my last name even though i was not married to the mother. The mother was given money for the adoption. My sister and brother-in-law have tried for years to have a child without success...my intention was to share the raising of my daughter with them...yet they have not shared anything with me and have tried to erase all traces of me being a major loving Dad. Can i overturn this adoption? Because as it stands now - i have no contact with my family...And i love my Daughter - with unbending intent to have her in my Life.
