Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Can anyone help me get my Daughter back

I went out with my girlfriend about a year and we are not not married. She gave birth to my daughter her parents decided to put our daughter up for hearsay blackmarket baby adoption,with out my permission which i disagreed she told me my name is on the birth certificate which i found out it is not.I guess it comes down to dna testing, if my dna matches my daughters can i legally take back my daughter from the blackmarket parents, who are withholding my daughter,or do I have to go through getting the birth certificate changed before I take my daughter back. For me its a complicated issue, which I hoping to get help on.Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: Can anyone help me get my Daughter back

I would repeat Mr. Rothstein's advice, except that I would urge you to get a lawyer immediately, before doing anything else.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by "blackmarket" adoption, but the term implies an illegal act. I will tell you that an unmarried father's rights with respect to a legal adoption and other matters depend largely upon his acts to take responsibility for the care and support of the child immediately before and after the child's birth.

Feel free to call me at 212-367-9167 if you wish to discuss this further. I do not charge a fee for the initial consultation.

You need to speak with the FBI. You also need a lawyer and a probably a private investigator. If you want to discuss this, please call me at 212-622-7180.
