In brief
Tamuna Museridze embarked on an eight-year journey to find her birth parents, ultimately discovering her father was already in her Facebook friend list.
Tamuna Museridze's quest to learn about her origins began after her adoptive mother passed away. At first, a cold response from a woman she thought was her biological mother didn’t deter her. Instead, she managed to uncover a baby trafficking scandal in Georgia affecting many families and resolved to find her father. After receiving a tip connecting her to a possible relative, she pursued DNA testing, which revealed she was indeed related. To her surprise, her father, Gurgen Khorava, was a Facebook friend who had unknowingly been following her journey online. After a heartfelt meeting, Tamuna discovered the family traits they shared, including a love for dancing. However, answers about her adoption remained elusive until she confronted her birth mother through a documentary team. Painfully, she learned that she hadn’t been stolen but adopted, as her mother faced societal shame after giving birth. Despite this tough revelation, Tamuna expressed gratitude for the family connections she made, emphasizing the importance of telling the truth about those wronged by the trafficking scandal in Georgia.
