For those of you who don't know my story, I have been separated from my daughter China for about 6 years now. No pictures no phone calls nothing. Honestly for the longest time I didn't know where she was at all. Believe me not by my choice, but by her very manipulative mother. What can I say, in the TX court system it's a woman's world.

Anyway, a few months ago my wife told me she had some very important news to tell me but she wanted me to remain calm. She told me that just for curiosity she had googled my daughter. (Now this was nothing new over the years I have done it a million times, but stopped about a year ago because I figured she being a minor the chances of seeing her were very small). When she told me she saw her my heart stopped, I literally went deaf for about 2 minutes.

When my wife showed me the site, I was just speechless. Happiness, pride, and sadness all rushed over me at once. Not only was baby grown up and beautiful, but a beauty queen at that.

This is her in August shortly before being crowned East Coast National Grand Supreme

A true beauty queen- thanks for sharing, Gypsy.

WOW! Have you made contact with her yet?

You have every right to be proud. Good luck brother.

Very Nice my Brutha, Very Nice.

Congratulations on finding the site. She's beautiful.

Now that's something (someONE) to be proud of. Hope you regain contact, bro.

Your statement “in the TX court system it's a woman's world.” is entirely untrue. Although many men feel that way the truth is that texas courts are very much in favor of the father. you just have to know the system. among other things I am a volunteer advocate with a group called Texas Fathers for Equal Rights. if you would like to see your daughter email me and I will help you. kccody at yahoo

That's awesome GYPSY! I hope you get to see her soon, and kcody, what you're doing is awesome too. I hope it all turns out.

Thanks everyone for the comments and support. Even though as of this date contact as not been made, there have been some huge doors opening and my faith is renewed with hope.

KCODY....Email sent.

Great Pic Gypsy.. very beautiful daughter...

Sorry to hear your going through this as well... I thought Illinois was the only bad State for this I guess not?

I'll keep you in my prayers!

Hang in there brother and keep a positive attitude. As I often say to people positive begets positive! Now is the time to make your every day chores and work habits positive.This is like a new beginning. Do contact the brother from Texas and he will help U make a big leep in contacting your daughter. I will think of U and let me know how this turns out for U. GSS1956 at succom dot net
