I hope it's for the right reasons, but assuming it is, I think it's a good thing too.

I agree. If this story is for real, Angelina needs to probably get a DNA test done though, just to make sure. I guess I just keep asking myself why now and is she looking for a payday out of this But maybe this woman felt shame so that could be the reason and I hope she doesn't want any $$ out of this. If she is Zahara's birth mom though, I don't see the harm in letting Zahara see her and know her Ethiopian family/roots as long as it's understood she stays with Angelina and will visit time to time. Truth is, ultimately, it is up to Zahara to make the decision. And having more family that loves/respects you is a good thing.

Definitely a dna test would have to be done and I'm pretty sure the lady is getting paid for the interviews.

Hi, Bren,

I too was reading about this a few days back online. It does indeed seem to be a case of the biologal mother honouring Angie's bringing up of her daughter. She seemingly accepts that Zahara has a whole different life that is a million miles away from the impoverished Ethiopia. I can imagine it could feel strange and even a little worrying for Angie lest she open up the floodgates and have this lady start to re-establish a bond and demand more interaction but realistically she has nothing substantial to offer her - Z is accustomed to a more affluent set and has home schooling - another issue. It's highly unlikely that Z would covet that kind of life even if it were on the cards. She has a whole different life (in spite of the separation), and she seems closely bonded to her siblings.

"These days you have to boil someone before you can sleep with them"

All good points. It might be best to wait for Zahara to be older. 🤔
