A Texas man is battling for custody of his first-born daughter after his wife successfully gave her up for adoption without telling him - to a family who now refuses to return the girl.
Terry Achane, 31, a drill instructor in South Carolina, says it was just days after he left his pregnant wife for his new job out of state that she quietly signed over their unborn baby to a family of seven in Utah.
His newborn baby, whom he had wanted to name Teleah, was given to Jared and Kristi Frei, who now say the girl is theirs and won't give her back without a fight.
Mr Achane says that he and his wife, Tira Bland, were having marital problems not long after learning she was pregnant in 2010, leading to her decision and his now spiraling struggle today despite a judge ordering the girl returned to him last October.
The now ex-husband says Ms Bland had suggested having an abortion or giving their child up for adoption - fearing she would end up as a single mother - but he said no, encouraging their daughter's birth.
It was just months later in February of 2011 that Mr Achane found himself sent to Fort Jackson in South Carolina for work, believing he’d leave and come back a new dad.
Ten days after his move, however, his wife went gave birth to a premature baby and signed away their child before cutting all contact with her husband.

wouldn’t the 18 year old be able to take custody of the 15 year old?
You guys are too much.
I didn’t find anything in my searches...but I suppose I was assuming that the headline under which I read it, “In Praise Of Ignorant Contumely,” was the title provided by the wire service.
Alternatively it could just be that I am simply ignorant about the effective use of Google, in which case you can all just p!$$ off!
(lol)
Sounds like a kind of dinosaur doesn’t it?
“And here, people, right next to the Tyrannosaurus Rex, we have its larger cousin—and meaner, and scarier, and even more deadly—Contumacious Tex!”
ROTFLOL
I love it when someone comes up with a great comeback line.
Your reply was sharp, imaginative, creative, and an excellent play on words.
Kudos to you. We all need more humor in these tryin’ times.
FReegards,

Parental rights are inalienable and removing them ALWAYS exceptional and only through due process.
WOW. You better do some soul searching and get your house in order because you have been duped by leftist propaganda.
5. Many of the UK papers have US readership numbers that are extremely large.
This wasn’t some sperm donor. This was the husband of the mother and the legal father. Can you imagine the reaction if the husband had passed a child to adoptive parents without the consent of the mother? He, and EVERYONE involved would be in jail for kidnapping!!
The adoption agency Adoption Center of Choice told the new family that Mr Achane wasn't aware of his daughter's placement with them and he would most likely contest it if he had found out.
Then the new 'family' are a despicable lot.
Especially on FR.
Mommy and the Adoption Center aren’t winning any gold stars, either.
Went and read the “adoptive” family’s blog.. They are appealing and from what I read, still have the baby..
...and I have guesses as well. All of them disagree with your 1-4 starting with your population claims. I very well might be wrong but I can't data to back that first up.
It's all downhill for me after that. Not that it makes a whits bit of difference what I think. It doesn't.
I have been in similar situations with dogs. DOGS!!! Yes, I loved them and wanted to keep them but, when the rightful owner found me, after I got proof there was no hesitation.
With a blood born child?!? Good grief! Selfish does not begin to explain what I think about these people.
That is her DAD you dirtbags!
It is not just on FR. The UK Telegraph, Guardian and Daily Mail are extremely popular in America.
She's an adult now so those days are over but I missed almost all of her childhood and most of the love and influence and teaching I could have given.
Dad's are important - even vital - but we are at the bottom of this society's priorities. Your post is just the latest evidence of that fact.
The father is in the Army
He was reassigned to South Carolina
The mother went to Utah and the the so called “adoptive parte4nts are whiter Mormons there who lied along with the female who gave birth to the judge about the father...
aty first the fact they were MARRIED and that she was no ABANDONED and that the father DIDNT sign away his parental rights was covered up...
the white Mormon couple are falsely collecting money online to fight the rightful decision by the judge to give the baby back to her father...
at first they claimed he had abandoned the female while she was 7 months pregnant and conveniently left of the fact they were married and he was in the army and had to leave...
These frauds should be proscecuted for kidnapping and a scam to illict money ...
unfortunately Utah has very nasty adoption laws that override the rights of fathers very easily...
I am not surprised that Utah has such laws, not surprised at all.
LOL
My good sir, I vociferously rebel at that notion.
;^D
Not always. It's not that unusual anymore.
