My husband and I lost custody of our daughter to my sister. Our parental rights were terminated on the grounds of abandonment.
I left my daughter in care of my sister back in 2013. My husband was offered a job outside of country, but I did not want to take my daughter along because she has medical issues and had just started school. We had a guardianship agreement and we were supposed to come back to the US the following year. However, my husband's contract was extended so we stayed.
The custody battle started in 2016 when my sister tried to receive government aid for my daughter. I was ordered to pay child support, which I happily did. My sister wasn't satisfied with that and petition for custody again in 2018. They terminated our rights this year. They claimed we abandoned her because we had not seen her since 2013 and paying child support did not count as being a part of her life.
I really want my daughter back and we plan on coming back home to the US either later this year or early 2022 for certain. Is there any way I can regain custody of my daughter?

Not one mention by OP of what the (14 years old, old enough to express her wishes) kid actually wants.

She says was in the UK and didn't even visit once in 8 years.
I hope this is fake.
