I will try to make this as short as possible for all of you..... My ex-wife left me 14 years agotaking with her my 2 daughters. I have since then remarried and my present wife and I have been looking for these 2 girls now for many many years... After years of searching we finally found that the mother had been remarried and somehow a step parent adotion had taken place. without my knowledge or consent, my parental rights were taken away because of this. After more searching I found that my ex-wife had been murdered my her new husband and then he went on to kill himself. I found my daughters, but they are living with the mothers parents. To my knowledge they havent been adopted by the grandparents or they do not have permanent custody. My daughters are now 14 and 17 and are very unhappy where they are at. I need to know what I can do to get them back. I do talk to them both all the time now via the internet. Am I allowed to go and get them without getting in trouble or is the 17 year old old enough to make her own decisions and leave without being classified as a runaway???
