Father hopes to find missing daughter
"Trashanda was 3 months old when her mother told Waytes he was the father. He wasn't sure he believed the mother, but he still fell in love with the baby. Waytes was devastated when he learned from a DNA test that someone else was Trashanda's biological father.
But the courts still ruled that Waytes was an "excellent" father, caring for the girl 90 percent of the time while Trashanda's mother missed 16 every-other-weekend visits in the span of 12 months. The judge awarded Waytes custody, saying the years of reading books to Trashanda and taking her to the park proved he was more fit as a parent."
