Father fights for daughter placed for adoption without his knowledge

Brandon Marteliz is fighting for custody while the child, who is now almost 2, is with prospective adoptive parents.

Standing in his daughter's bedroom, Brandon Marteliz tried to fight back tears. 

“It’s hard," Marteliz said. "Sometimes I can come in here, and sometimes I can’t.”

Marteliz's only child is a daughter he has never met.

“I had books for her, a few toys, tons of clothes. I’m getting ready to give them away because I know they’re not going to fit her anymore," Marteliz said. 

His daughter will turn 2 in January. Marteliz took a picture with his child's mother two days before she gave birth.
