The mother of Zahara says she is happy she is happy for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to raise her baby. Angelina Jolie adopted the little girl more than two years ago when Zahara was malnourished and thought to be an orphan. But Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, the woman who claims to be Zaraha's mother, never signed papers to give up her daughter. The birth family claim they were misled. They say a local official told the immediate family they would see the biological child again and maintain contact.Reports surfaced last week alleging the paperwork accompanying the adoption was wrong in stating the girl was an orphan because her mother, Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, is still alive.Lebiso is alleged to have told U.S. magazine In Touch, "I want my daughter to come home to see where she is from." But Lebiso has denied making such comments, and says her words were misinterpreted by "so-called journalists" who claimed to be working for Jolie.
The adoption of two-year-old Zahara was ruled legal on Friday by the agency that first approved it in 2005. Dr Tsegaye Berthe, head of the Wide Horizons for Children Agency slammed the rumours Lebiso wanted the girl back as "media hype by unethical journalists." Lebiso also said, "I think my daughter is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world-famous lady. I wish them all the success they both deserve."
