It would be very helpful if anyone could post a message back to me if you know or have contact with Micheal. My daughter has not seen her father since her frist birthday party. She turned 9 this past July. I have no contact with his family. And I really just want to be able to give her some answers. If anyone knows him tell him to come to this site and reply.
Thanks and God Bless!

Um Mel0808,
I'm assuming her father is in prison???? Prisoners do not have access to the internet so if he is, he would not be able to come to this site.
If he is in prison, why not have her write her father a letter....I'm sure he would love to hear from her. If you don't know where he is located, here's the link for Maryland Prison information...you can either email or call them.

Oh I thought that they could get on the internet. Thanks for your reply. I am not sure if I should do that only because she does not know that her father is in prison. And I have not heard or talked to him in that same amount of time. I only got his inmate number through the prisoner look up. We parted on bad terms I dont really want to say anything to him I dont have to. To be honest I dont know what to say to him. And that is prob why I have left these loose ends undone for so long.
Thanks again for your post!

I think you should bite the bullet and write him a letter. It was nine years ago you parted wasn't it? If so, I'm sure he's had time to heal as well as you. I think you should do it for your daughter. First sit down with her and explain things though to see if she would like to write him. I'm sure a letter from her would really make his day. Wouldn't that make you feel good inside knowing you put a smile on both of their faces??:D

i agree , my dad was in prison , when i was concieved and born ( lol dont ask ) blood test proved it ,
you dont have to tell her where he is , write him , let her write him , and loet her hear it from him . when he wants to tell her , let them establish a relationship b4 we ruin one ,

I agree with QQin4meboo. Just have her write a letter and send it to him. Dont tell her anything about where he is. Just that you think you found an address for him and that you are going to try to get in contact with him.
Or better yet, send one from JUST YOU and see if he even responds to it. I dont think you want to get the little girl's hopes up and then get nothing in response. If he wants contact with his daughter, then I'm sure that he will write her a letter. Make it clear in the letter that you want HIM to explain where he is and why. That isn't your job.
Just some thoughts. Good Luck with everything!

I'd write him too... keep it short and sweet... simply tell him that his daughter has been asking for him, or whatever the case may be, and ask if it's okay if she be allowed to write. You may want to politely stress to him not to say yes and then not follow thru whereas she is so young. Both of you need to know that "no" would be an acceptable answer too. And you can always tell her that he is in prison, but you don't have access to any information that may locate him at this time. It's a tough spot... good luck!
