Dear all,
The public pressure has helped that after 03 years without contact I am talking again to my daughter. Her mother allowed that I bought my daughter a cell phone, a trusted friend of mine in Rio delivered it to my daughter. I also got a local Rio phone number, which my daughter can dial and the call is being forwarded directly to my cell phone in the U.S.

My daughter is very interested to talk to me and we are on the phone every 2-3 days for about 1/2 hour, which is a pretty long time for a 6-year old. We are also playing online games on
www.orkut.com together, which she explains to me in Portuguese, I can even learn quite a few new Portuguese words from my 6-year old...
My hope is that my daughter's own interest to be in touch with Daddy and eventually visit him will bring tangible results much faster than any legal process. At any rate, for now I am happy that I can talk to her easily and that she has an exclusive VIP number to call Daddy 24/7/365. In the long run, building trust and relation between her and me should bring us together in a much more painless way and maybe faster than going through the horrible courts with frustration after frustration.
Thank you all for your support, it really has made a difference in my case...
Thank you and God bless...
Klaus
