In Georgia, Tamuna Museridze, a journalist, undertook the personal mission of discovering her birth parents after suspecting her adoption due to discrepancies in her birth certificate. Her investigation revealed that her birth mother had concealed her pregnancy and given birth in September 1984. After learning that a woman knew the circumstances surrounding her birth, Tamuna was introduced to her father, Gurgen. During their first meeting in Zugdidi, he immediately recognized her resemblance to him. They shared interests, such as a passion for dance which connected her daughters to their grandfather. Although her mother had told her to present her story as one of abduction, Tamuna found joy and fulfillment in connecting with her newfound family, which gave her a sense of belonging. This experience echoes the plight of many individuals in Georgia affected by a notorious baby trafficking scandal, where families had been torn apart, with many others still seeking to reunite.
