Her search for daughter proves endless

Tandur: adoption racketeers did not just try to take advantage of women who had several daughters and convince them to give away one; they even targetted women who had just one daughter, to make money in the process. the plight of sita bai of chindanur thanda at kunchawaram in gulbarga district of karnataka is unimaginable. for the last nine months she has been desparately trying to locate her baby. "no one is helping me," sita bai told the times of india.with tears rolling down her eyes, she said she had been deceived by parvathi bai, an agent of savithri, into giving away her daughter. sita bai's daughter deepya was nine months old when parvathi bai approached her. "she told me she would show me my daughter every week and took her to the adoption home in tandur. i have never got to see my daughter after that," sita bai said. the woman had given away her daughter just eight days before the racket was busted. when she got to know what happened, she went along with three other women from her village, who had also given away their daughters, to the john abraham memorial bethany home at tandur. but the babies had been shifted from there. she, however, has not come to hyderabad to the sishu vihar to trace her daughter there. "my husband left me long back. i do not have anyone who can accompany me.the police said they would help me but so far i have not got back my daughter," sita bai said. from her village, another lambada kamli bai had given away her three-day-old daughter and another woman, poona babi her four-day-old baby girl. sita bai has a son but her heart is going out for her daughter from whom she has been separated. "i was paagal (mad) to have given away my daughter. i want her back," she cried narrating her tale of woe, near the kunchawaram police station in bordering karnataka state. they had heard it before too, but did little to help sita bai get back her daughter,who could be at the sishu vihar in hyderabad.
