Half-brother recognizes sister adopted by Belgian couple 42 years ago; reunites with tears of love...
Kochi ∙ Pettamma, who was lost before she could remember, has been found by her daughter after 4 decades. Nisha, who was adopted by a Belgian couple 42 years ago from the then orphanage attached to St.Theresa's College in Ernakulam, came to Kochi to look for Pettamma....
Nisha finally found her mother, Saramma, following a report on Manorama News Channel the other day . It was her half-brother Binoy Chacko who identified her from the news. The encounter took place at a senior citizen center in Thrissur.
Binoy remembers being with Nisha when her relatives brought her to the orphanage from Mulanthuruthy in 1983. When he got to know his mother closely after 42 years, he saw his daughter with tears in her eyes, erasing all the questions she had been pondering.
Sarah was still searching for her daughter somewhere in her memories. Nisha introduced her to her husband Yos and daughter Raya. The baby was adopted by a Belgian couple, Martini and Eric, on December 31, 1983.
Sister Therese and Sister Brigitte named the baby Nisha when she was 6 months old. It was from Martini and Eric, who raised her, that Nisha learned about Kochi and the orphanage there.
