According to the Sun>/i>The mother of Angelina Jolie's adopted baby girl says the Hollywood actress has saved her child's life.
Mentewab Dawit, 18, revealed that seven-month-old Zahara is the product of a rape, despite Miss Jolie's claims that her adopted daughter is an orphan. She went on to say that she gave up her baby because she feared for its life in the poverty-stricken African country. From her modest mud hut home, 120 miles from the capital Addis Ababa, Miss Dawit told the newspaper how grateful she felt to Jolie for giving her daughter the chance of a better life. The young seamstress, who earns pennies a day, said she had never heard of Miss Jolie, but knew her baby had been adopted. She later added that she hopes that Jolie will give the child a good education.
Miss Dawit was studying away from home when she was raped, and had her daughter in the town of Hosanna on 7th January 2005 - Christmas Day in Ethiopia - after saving up pay for a hospital birth. |
