Adoption? long story?

I was tricked into give my daughter up for adoption to my grandparents. I had no health ins. no job and the father was not around. So, my grandparents said they HAVE to adopt her to give her health ins. So for the best for my daughter i did that, not knowing the full reasoning of adoption, and how adopting worked.I was 17 at the time.
my daughter was 14 months old.
Well anyways, we went threw the adoption and all was good,no changes with anything, i took care of my daughter at my grandparents house, they helped out. Nothing wrong with a single parent needing some help with a child.
Well as time went on i got marrierd when my daughter was about 3, Moved out into my own apartment with my daughter and husband. Everything was wonderful.
Well my daughter was going to pre-k. It was so cute she had come home with her very 1st picture for school.
Well my grandmother had come over and started to scream at us.How could u not give this picture to me.and etc.
I was amazed. wow. So she took

So..she took my daughter and some thing from my house of hers. so i called her and she said u can only she her when i tell you .
I called and found a lawyer, he put me in debt. but really didnt care. told him the situation. he said i have to listen to her.she was right.
What she says goes. So i did as she said. We swolled our pride and moved in a tiny trailer behind her house . During this time it was awful. i was to be called by my name and not mom, she was called mom and he was called dad, it was awful.but i did as i was told, i wanted to atleast see my daughter.
Well im gunna try and rap this story up, when my daughter was 8, she was going to school and something had happen in school, and she confronted my daughter about it, and long story short, she smacked my daughter in the face, i was so mad, i did call the cops.the cops came over and didnt do anything. the NEXT morning they packed up everything and moved to las vegas, which we was in TN at the time. Never gave me nothing to

My heart is breaking for you and your daughter. Somehow just let her know you are trying to find away around your sick parents. Look at the bright side, you know where she is and that she's being provided for. Many mothers have lost contact due to these types of AP's and the agency's representing them. I would find an attorney that feels strongly about children's rights and will fight for and with you. Your daughter is at an age where she can tell the judge where and with whom she wishes to live with. Good luck. Try myspace again, she'll probably set up another account. I would also set up website specifically explaining the situation. Hopefully, she or one of her friends will come across it and someone will express interest in helping you.

I don't really see a question here but I'm thinking you want advise on what you should or could do. You need to try and see if you can do that's legal. If she's now abusing your child that's not good. However since your grandparents were never honest with you from the very beginning this is going to be a long hard battle to fight. You've legally given them custody of your child because by law they are her legal parents. It just seems as though your grandparents have a lot of deep seeded issue that needs to be worked. You need to try and just deal with what you can from these people just to keep contact with them to be sure that you're child is safe with them. You also again may want to contact another lawyer to see what legal grounds you do have.
