Hi Shawn,
Are there any of the normal immigration routes you could take? If not, i'm not really sure how you would be able to. I would imagine that your daughter is free to live in New Zealand if she is a born citizen, and think that your best bet would be to contact the immigration department directly to discuss the nature of your matter.

NZ immigration are not accepting any family sponsorships this year so I know that one would be out of the question for this year!

Its a tough situation for sure, and I really hope you find a solution.

All the best
