I have been attempting to establish paternity for a child, whose not with mother. I need to locate child, how?
The mother "unofficially" let her ex-boyfriend have her. He may or may not have gained some type of rights over her. i have even heard that this child may either be still with him, or in a foster home. All I know is that there has been NO paternity established for this child. DSS in this state has given me the run-around for almost 3 years. i even found out that this child was in a local foster care facility, here, in the same county for 3 months while my establishment case was opened, 2 years ago. Back then, I was never notified of this from DSS. Instead, they closed my case in July 2004. I am still determined to find out the truth once and for all, whether I am this girl's father or not. Attorneys have told me that I at least need to know where the child is before i can seek a court order. i need help elsewhere, as I am still helpless all this time later. this child is now 7 years old. All I know, is that she could be in either Georgia, or north carolina with the ex's family.
Also, since I am not established as the child's father, foster facilities won't quickly give me info. All i have is the child's full name and birthdate. I even called a PI, and he told me that he doesn't locate children, and that "only DSS would know where the child is" was his exact words. Various DSS employees act as if they don't want to touch this. I have even been told by a few employees to just "give up". Can you believe that? I know who the ex's family is, I have even made contact with them, but they try to avoid me all the way, simply because of my possible connection. So you can see, I have made several different approaches on this. Even though they didn't work, I still believe that there is a way. I appreciate all answers, Thank you.

If you know the child’s first and last name I would call the foster care facility that you heard she was in. If that doesn’t get you anywhere, call the foster care facilities in Georgia and N. Carolina in the cities you think she might be in. You could also try calling CPS in those states to see if they have any information they can give you. You could try getting in contact with the ex’s family perhaps? Good luck, I hope you find her!
Sad! I am sorry but you would think with a government so willing to have laws for "Deadbeat dads" that when you have one so willing to try to prove paternity they would be more helpful! What about the dead beat mom’s??
Do you know the Child’s Name, I would Hire a PI, I doubt your going to get much help anywhere else. You should call social services and tell them, they might have a better Idea, lord knows they have to find fathers to get paternity tests, why couldn’t they help you find a child?
you in same shoes i am excepted my grand son is missing , don’t know where he could be
HAVE YOU CHECKED ANY TELEVISION PROGRAM CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS?
A lot of them like publicity, you can work for them when they can help you with your needs, a lot of agencies are scared of bad publicity. I know this sounds selfish, and kind of drastic, but do you think is worth it?
Fathers don’t get very far when seeking their rights. Fathers who may not be the fathers are even worse off.
I would hire an attorney to advise me on this. Perhaps there is one that your local fathers rights group could refer you to.
My brother struggled with the system that had documentation that he was the father. Only when he died and the system had to deal with the children’s incompetent mother without the luxury of blaming their father did the mother get held to any standard. She always seemed to have a lawyer hired at public expense. It made a difference.
I’d suggest retaining an attorney to help you sort through your rights and the maze of unhelpful agencies.
contact the child’s mother and ask her where the child is
This is horrible. GET A LAWYER INVOLVED. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR CHILD.
I would contact a family lawyer, speack to Child Support Services, and Social Services. CSE has a location department that can help you locate your child.
