During a clear-out of the house of who the adopted woman previously believed to be her mother, she uncovered her birth certificate. Despite the name being correct, she found the birth date to be wrong.
This triggered Tamuna Museridze's natural journalistic curiosity, and it led her to discover that she was adopted. The birth certificate was a fake. So, in an effort to find her missing father and mother, she started a Facebook page called Vedzeb.
However, this snowballed and ended up uncovering a Georgia child trafficking ring. Parents were being told their babies had died at birth but were instead being given to other families. Her Facebook page ended up unearthing thousands of stolen babies thanks to her search for her parents.
Adopted Woman Reunited With Mother And Father Through Facebook
Through this platform, Tamuna Museridze was contacted by a woman who claimed she had an auntie who gave birth around the time Tamuna was born. However, when Museridze reached out to this auntie, the woman at the end of the phone screamed at her and denied it.
But, despite her auntie's denial, the original woman stuck by her claim. She submitted a DNA test along with Museridze, and it turned out they were cousins. Museridze then confronted the woman again, and the woman admitted to being her mother.
Museridze then asked her birth mother for the identity of her father. Despite only being a one-night stand, the mother remembered and gave Museridze his name. Not only was the name familiar, but her father had been helping her search for missing families on Facebook for three years.
Gurgen Korava, her father, was unaware he had ever had a child. Out of shame, her mother had hidden her pregnancy and given her away at birth. She had told no one. Even now, the woman begged her daughter Tamuna Museridze to tell people she was one of the stolen children, but Museridze refused. She said it would be too disrespectful to the others she had helped already.
Through Facebook, the adopted woman is not reunited with her father. However, her mother still remains separate from her, preferring to be alone.
