They don't want to help me with keeping my parental rights with my daughter. Do you realize how many dead beat dads there are in this world??? Then you got me a man that wants to be a father and I can't ne because legal aid will not help nor did they even have the empathy to refer me to an office that can help. I'm so at wits ends. If you don't have enough money no one wants to help you ne a father.
