hahaha! thank you for the adivce, but will not encrypt anything and care not so much about what U.S.A. laws states; just like to reach a daughter and feel nobody can dislike it.
While you've come to the wise conclusion that amateur radio is not the best vehicle for this application (and by the way, I do wish you well...and congratulations on your expanded family), there's one small point to be made here: US law has nothing to do with it. Bangladeshi law would be the relevant entity here.
The general point is that amateur radio is regulated pretty much everywhere in more or less similar ways, with restrictions on content, encryption, commercial use, etc. It's not that anyone would dislike it, but the Bangladeshi authorities would likely want a licensed amateur on their side of the communications.
Should amateur radio become something that you want to have another look at in the future for communications with your daughter, I'd recommend looking at http://www.barl.org to get a sense about what's required on that side.
