My name is Kelli Merritt- Stewart, and I am in search of my daughter Melanie Gabrielle Porras. She was born on 10-23-93. Her father, George Anthony Porras, date of birth 11-4-71.He and I were divorced in the late 90's. He gained custody through a bitter divorce, although I have visitation rights. He took her from me in 2000, and hid so I could not see her anymore. I have no way to contact him. He has not had contact with any of my family or any of his.I am 30 years old, and desperately looking for my child. It has been 5 years too long and I don't know where to turn.We have tried hiring a private investigator, but could find nothing. I still have visitation rights, but not sure where to go. I have his social security #, and my daughter's. He has since had another child with a lady named Jacquelyn Cooper.I also have her social security info.They have a little boy together . The last known address I have for them was 112 Ginger Lane in Taylors,S.C. where they were evicted from in 2002.Please,I am desperate.If anyone knows anything, please get in touch with me. The last time I saw my daughter, she was ripped from my arms crying, telling me she wanted to go home with me. I have been searching, and searching, and don't know where else to turn. Help me in any way you can. I am begging. God bless, and take care!!
