To get a piercing. The video ended up on tiktok and a week later, my friend messaged me, saying theres a girl who is looking for you. She looks exactly like you. What the hell is happening . Who is that girl . I said, can you show me her on facebook . I texted herfirst, i have been looking for you. And she said, me too. Im coming up from the escalator and its like my heart is like it was pumping so much blood i was in shock. Am i looking in the mirror . Am i in the train . 0r could Someone Slap me in the face . Exact same person, exact same faces, exact same voice, exact same thoughts. Im like, i need to hug you. She doesnt like hugs but she did hug me. Then, we took a couple of pictures and i posted it on facebook. Then, my Mothers Friend texted me. Did you find your sister . Im like, who . What. What sister . Amy and ano were not the only ones making strange discoveries about their past. So, this is my one Birth Certificate and its written that i was born on tenth august. And this is new one, which i took in 2017, and its written that i was born in tenth october in 1984. Unfortunately, none of them are the real dates and i dont exactly know when i was born. I am tamuna, i am journalist, and i am the first one who started talking about baby selling scandal in georgia. In 2016, my mother died unexpectedly. She was only 64 years old. One month later, i wasjust looking in her documents, just organising some stuff, and ifound my Birth Certificate where it was written my name, my surname, my parents� names and surnames. But it was said that my Birth Date was not the day which i knew. Tamuna went to the archives to find a document that in georgia every woman receives after giving birth, but no document existed. Her Mother Hadnt given birth to her at all, and it meant she must be adopted. When her family refused to talk about it, Tamuna Set about finding answers. I think that this is a mission which was made for me, or maybe i was made for this mission. She wanted to find out if there were others in the same position as her. So she and a Friend Set up a Facebook Group called i am searching. Everything exploded, message after message after message. Mothers looking for children, children looking for the mothers. One of those messages was, like, oh, my. She suspects her mother was involved in other cases of baby trafficking, working with corrupt doctors and criminals. Nato� s mother said not everyone was involved, but many people were. Black market adoptions and Child Trafficking were rife in georgia between the 1970s until the mid 2000s, when adoption became more regulated. Lia believes the practice thrived because of a culture of shame around adoption, which pushed it underground and a lack of Questioning Authority under communism. Later, after georgia gained independence from the soviet union, a period of turbulence followed which allowed criminals to cash in on a more organised system of illegal adoption. Its now known that no Hospital Cemeteries ever existed and that mothers were lied to. Its believed Tens Of Thousands of babies were stolen, but with no exact records, the true number is unknown. Even today, no one knows for sure exactly how connected these criminal gangs were or to what heights the corruption reached. Tamuna believes the very top. International Child Trafficking in georgia has been investigated by authorities twice since 2003. Some people did Face Jail time, but they were just the tip of the iceberg. There are reports that some of those who were accused of being involved are still working in hospitals today. With tamunas Facebook Group gaining momentum, in september 2022, the georgian government launched a new formal investigation into Child Trafficking. Led by the ministry of internal affairs, it set out to investigate Hospital Employees and gather evidence. Amy and ano now have serious questions to ask their families. My mother. God and im like, what im going to say to her . And for the first time, i hear my mother cry. And im like, 0k, youre making me cry, so i cant. No, i Cant Talk to you. She said that. |� m sorry. And im saying, youre sorry for what . I didnt know that you had a twin sister. My whole life is a lie. That was the first feeling i had. The twins posted their story on the group. Within a few days, they received a message from a woman called anna. She said, i also have twin sisters and i am looking for them. Annas mother had been told her twins had died in 2002, but now she had doubts. Then we decided to get a Dna Test, and it turns out that the woman, who lives in germany, is our biological mother. As you see, there are almost 36,000 posts and comments in two months in our group. And you can also see the views of the group and there are more than Five Million views. I am searching now has over 230,000 members. I get messages every day with new leads. They are from all over georgia and even people based abroad. Tamunas research has found that the trafficking of babies was happening right across georgia. Shes found multiple allegations against at least 20 hospitals, many in rural areas. Tamuna is meeting a family in kvareli, a small town in the east of the country. She wants to hear what happened to irina more than a0 years ago. A few days after giving birth, irina was told her twins had died. She was instructed by doctors to find something to bury them in. Unable to access a plot for the children in a cemetery, the family buried the suitcase in their garden. It remained there for more than a0 years. The family were so suspicious that they decided to dig up the suitcase. More than a year after the investigation was launched, very little seems to have happened. With frustration building, tamuna has gathered women from the group to meet lia and discuss legal action. Meanwhile, the twins are grappling with whether to meet their biological mother in germany. This is my biggest moment in my life. I want answers to my questions. Adopted children have that feeling that everything, its her fault. You know . Its our fault. Its their fault. No, its not. And its not but we felt like that. We all our Life Thinking about it, oh, its my fault. Its my fault. Because i wasnt enough. And you dont. And you dont know why. I just want answers. I cant change the past. I can change my future. 0h they cry 0h. During their chat, Amy And Anos mother said that after giving birth, she was unconscious and it was only when she woke up that she was told her twins had died. I felt something like ive never felt. I dont know what thats called, but, yeah, im shaking. Ijust want to comfort her because i know what shes feeling. Amy and ano are among the few to have reconnected with family. Elsewhere, Irina And Nino may have had a breakthrough in their search. They found someone who lives nearby who they think could be one of the twins. They are awaiting Dna Test results. Nato often thinks about finding herfamily. Lias group legal battle continues to gather pace. They plan to begin legal action this year. Meanwhile, tamuna continues to search for her biological family. She is due to meet the president of georgia to lobby on behalf of all the victims. The saddest part of my story is that i have reunited hundreds of families and i cannot find my biological parents. But i will. Im sure i will. I will find them. Hello. According to meteorologists, saturday, 31st Of August was the last day of summer. How did we get on . Well, across most of the country, we had these lovely sunny skies and it felt quite nice in the sunshine, given light winds. However, across southern areas of england and to a degree the far south of wales, we had a lot of cloud. And talking about cloud, latest Satellite Picture shows a complex of thunderstorms forming across west france. Low pressure is forming here, and thats ultimately going to drag in some increasingly humid air from belgium, netherlands, luxembourg, move it into the uk and that will set the scene for some thundery downpours, i think later on sunday and into Sunday Night. For the time being, though, its relatively quiet out and about. You could see an odd spit of Rain Falling from The Cloud as it advances across northern areas of england. It will turn a bit cloudy across parts of scotland and Northern Ireland through the day, but still bright or sunny spells here. The Cloud Thinning and breaking across england and wales, and as that increasingly humid air gets drawn in, that sets the scene for one or two thunderstorms to pop up into the afternoon. And, to be honest, they could be just about anywhere. Im sure most places in england and wales will stay dry, but where those storms happen could bring heavy enough rain to cause some localised surface water flooding. And the same sort of thing goes on through Sunday Night as well. A few random storms popping up, with outbreaks of rain moving into western areas. 0n into mondays forecast, well, we still got that humid air down at the earths surface, but at higher elevations in the atmosphere, the air is starting to cool down, so that makes the air increasingly unstable. In other words, monday youre much more likely to see heavy, thundery showers or even some lengthy outbreaks of rain around on monday. Some of it could be heavy enough to cause one or two problems. Still humid air around, particularly across the eastern half of england with temperatures up to 26. The fresher air across western portions of the uk. 0n into tuesday, its another rather showery day. Again, some of those showers could be quite heavy, maybe thundery and potentially slow moving. So again, one or two issues possible, but it wont be raining all day everywhere, of course not, there will be some pleasant spells of Sunshine Breaking through The Clouds at times. Temperatures for most 18 to 23, and then later into the week we may well see rain or thundery showers tend to become confined to southern areas of england, with the weather tending to become drier with more sunshine across northern portions of the uk.
