Tamuna Museridze had been searching for her birth parents for eight long years. She was adopted as a child and had always felt a strong desire to find her biological family. In an effort to not only find her own family but also help others in similar situations, she started a Facebook group dedicated to reuniting adopted children with their birth parents.
Little did she know, her own search would lead her to uncover a shocking baby trafficking scandal in Georgia. For over thirty years, countless parents were told that their babies had died at birth, when in reality, they had been taken and sold on the black market. This discovery only fueled Tamuna's determination to find her own birth family.
Despite helping several families reunite through her Facebook group, Tamuna was struggling to find her own parents. It wasn't until her mother passed away in 2016 that she stumbled upon a birth certificate with her name and a different birth date. This sparked an eight-year search for her true identity.
Then, this past summer, she received a message on Facebook from someone claiming to know a woman who had given birth around the same time as Tamuna. She was ecstatic at the thought of finally finding her birth family. However, when she reached out to her mother, she was met with denial and hostility. Her mother adamantly claimed to have never given birth to a child.
Feeling defeated, Tamuna turned to her Facebook community for help. She posted an appeal asking if anyone knew her mother. To her surprise, a woman replied, claiming to be her aunt. She agreed to take a DNA test, which confirmed that Tamuna and the woman were indeed related. The woman then revealed that Tamuna's father's name was Gurgen Korava.
With a newfound hope, Tamuna began searching for her father on Facebook. To her amazement, she found that he was already her friend and had been following her story for three years, hoping to find her. They arranged to meet in his hometown and when they finally laid eyes on each other, it was clear that they were father and daughter.
As they got to know each other, they discovered many shared interests. Tamuna's daughters, who love dancing, were especially excited to learn that Gurgen had been a renowned dancer himself. He explained that he had a brief relationship with Tamuna's biological mother, but was unaware of her pregnancy.
Finally, Tamuna was able to meet her birth mother, thanks to the help of a TV company. She learned that her mother was not a victim of the baby trafficking scandal like so many others. Instead, she had chosen to hide her pregnancy out of shame and gave birth to Tamuna while pretending to have surgery. Her mother had even asked Tamuna to lie and claim they were both victims, but Tamuna knew it wouldn't be fair to the families who truly had their babies stolen.
Despite the bittersweet reunion with her birth mother, Tamuna was grateful to have found her true identity and a whole new family, including half-siblings, aunts, and uncles. Her journey may have been long and challenging, but it ultimately led her to uncover a scandal and help bring closure to countless families.
