Holden, LA asked in Adoption and Family Law for Louisiana

Q: Can a court force an intrafamily adoption on me (i.e. give my daughter to her step dad).

I have paid child support in the last 6 months and I have tried to see my daughter though her mother has refused, now she has filed for intra family adoption. Can the Court still order the intra family adoption go through even though I've tried to see her and can prove so and have paid child support
