I know that I am the bad guy here but, I was in a very bad car accident in 89 when I found out I was going to have my daughter. I was not able to care for myself for 2 years so after my mother pushed me into allowing my sister who is 20 years older to adopt my child. This was okay at first because I love my sister. I have always played a big part in my daughters life throght the 14yrs. Things now are not okay. Last year my daughter tried to kill herself over school (she's a.d.d.) My husband and I got her help and the medication right, now she is acting out sexually. My sister is 52 and unable to control her so in the start of this year my sister (adopted mom) through my daughter out of the house so that her bio child, who my daughter doesnt get along with and is 21 has a 6year old son and on probation for 8 fellonies, could have a place to stay. My husband and I took my daughter in and now have her back on the correct medication and acting correctly after 3 months, my sister wants my daughter back. I talked with her for sometime about the concerns we had about my daughter coming back to live with her because of the unstable envioment and she said that I have no rights and will not allow my daughter to have any more to do with me if this is how I am going to act. I just want what is best for my daughter so that she is not going down the same path as my sister daughter did or I did for that matter. Someone please help.

She is right, she legally adopted her and is her mother, so you have no rights.but, that doesnŒt mean you have to sit back and watch the abuse take place. If something is going on in the house, and you believe it is hurting your daughter, then the best thing you can do for her is report it to the authorities. You said she threw her out of the house? I dont believe its legal in any state for a parent to make a minor move out of the family home without another place to stay. Did she arrange another place for her, or did your daughter come to you looking for a place to stay? Have you documented the issues?
At this point, your hands are pretty much tied҅your best option would be to call Child Services and get them involved if you believe there is abuse going on.
Good luck.

I do have things documented. I have even talked with comp-care who is treating my daughters a.d.d. and they are suggesting me have the adoption reversed. I dont have any idea where to start that and dont have a lot of money for attorneys. I will call child services and start with them. The mental abuse needs to stop now.
There is no way to "reverse" an adoption, you would have to adopt her from her legal mother (your sister)...
I think with the abuse going on, the best course of action would be to get Child Services involved. The fact that you have a Dr. that is willing to say that the child has been mistreated can only work in your daughters favor.
Good luck
