Reply #9: That's what happened to my kid's father.

The rules in Ohio were loosened for those born in January 1, 1971 or later. His birthday is a few days before that. As far as he knew, because of being born a few days before a totally arbitrary date, he'd never get to meet his mother.

Luckily for him, his biomom was able to track his family down via a search agency. She talked to his adoptive parents and only contacted him after they'd talked for a while and everybody agreed it would be okay. She flew out to visit, and he's gone out to visit her and her other kids. He was raised an only child, so having siblings was a neat surprise. Anyhow, turns out she only lived one town east of him when he was growing up.

Abusive parents shouldn't be able to circumvent the supervised visitation process via facebook or anything else. I would assume doing so is a violation of the removal order, if not that really ought to be corrected.
