Ok so here's my situation. I was messing with a woman in 2019, she got pregnant with my child, but I had to go back home to the United States. The relationship fell apart over the long distance and I lost contact with her. Fast forward to March 2020 and she contacts me to let me know that the baby had been born during the first week of March. I asked to see the baby, but she informed me that she gave it to a guy (we'll just call him *Mr.A*) to look after because she is only 22 years old, and feels like she is incapable of caring for the child. She informs me that her agreement for giving Mr.A the baby was that she would be allowed to visit the child anytime she wanted to, as well as receive pictures of the child on a regular basis. 4 days after Mr A receives the baby, he comes to meet the mother and have her sign what he says is insurance papers for the baby. He states that he is in a rush that day and tells her she has to hurry up and sign the papers. The mother signs the papers, but unbeknownst to her, the papers are actually a form to put his name on the birth certificate as the father. At the same time this is happening, me and the mother reconcile and decide to be friends. She inform's me on what she has done with the baby without my knowledge and I tell her she should have just gave the baby to me, since I am the biological father, and because I have experience being a single parent (I have a 17 year old daughter, whom I've had full custody of, since she was born). The mother agrees that she has made a grave mistake, and she attempts to contact Mr A, to get our baby back.
After speaking with her, Mr A then finds me on Facebook and contacts me. He asks me if I am the father of the woman's baby, and if I want my baby back. Of course I say yes, and then Mr. A tells me to come to Bangkok. I inform him that I already am in Bangkok, which I guess shocked him. He then says that he will bring me my baby next week, and that he will call me. No call ever comes, and he blocks me on Facebook so I can't contact him. I inform the mother and she tries to contact him to no success. the mother is unable to contact Mr. A, as he has blocked her from all ways of contact, including social media, and changing his phone number. At this point both me and the mother are terrified because Mr. A has dissapered with the baby and we don't know where he lives or what his real name is.
We try using our friends social media to look up his pages and contact him, but it doesn't help, because he doesn't use his real name on any social media. So months pass, and we cannot find Mr. A's identity. Then the mother gets the bright idea to go get a copy of the birth certificate which will have his real name on it. It works, not only do we find out his real name, but we find out what his address is. We rush over to his house and ring the doorbell at the gate. The sister of Mr A comes to the gate, She speaks with the baby's mother, but informs her that she will not open the gate, and that she will not let us take or even see the baby. Me and the mother call the police, when they arrive, we explain to them the situation. The police go to the gate and speak with Mr A's sister. Then the police officers walk back to us and inform us that they cannot go in and take the baby because technically Mr A's name is on the birth certificate as the father. So they then inform us that we should take Mr A to court, and force him to take a blood test. So we go down to the court house to get more information on how to file suit and I am advised that it will be a long process since I am a foreigner. but I inform them that I am in the process of getting my Thai citizenship (Thai ID/ Passport) since both my parents are Thai. They advise me to wait till I'm a Thai citizen to take MR. A to court.... So here I am at present day, I've obtained my Thai ID & passport. I am currently looking for any good lawyers who specialize in child custody law. Any recommendations or advise is welcome. Thanks
