| Advice, Suggestions, and Encouragement |
As the father of 3 beautiful girls living with me here in the U.S.A., I am thankful every day that God has blessed me and
my family with their joyful presence. However, my daughter in Germany has been missing from my life ever since she was an infant. I have been trying to
establish contact with
Emma
through her mother for over 13 years (since she was 3).
Only briefly was I able to locate and contact
her mother in Berlin, Germany, but my heart is still aching as I was not able to establish any contact with my beautiful daughter.
Emma is being raised by her grandparents.
I am being denied the right to communicate or visit with my daughter and she is being denied any knowledge of her
biological father and her paternal family in the United States. This is breaking my heart. I only have
3 photos of my child.
As
my family and I pray for direction while pursuing to establish my paternal rights as Emma's father, we welcome any words of advice, suggestions or encouragement. Please feel free to contact us using the message form below.

Your
assistance, advice, ideas and more.
I have had an overwhelming positive response to this website.
I have gotten back in touch with long lost friends and colleagues both in
Germany and here in the US. I have heard from people all over the world in
different countries with different situations. Some have stories with happy
endings, some are sad. Some people contact me in hopes that I can help them find
their father or lost child.
I have also had multiple requests from the media in different
countries wanting to interview me or to run my story in their publication. I am
very seriously considering going these routes in the near future.
I welcome all of your wonderful input, ideas, suggestions and assistance and
want to extend a big THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has contacted me and offered
assistance. With the help of such wonderful people I have been able to maintain
faith and a positive outlook on where this journey will lead me.
