Zahara’s biological mother – the adopted daughter of actress Angelina Jolie – recently expressed through the media her desire to meet and talk with her child again.

This Ethiopian woman’s name is Mentewab Dawit Lebiso. These days, when information about the ending marriage of star couple Brad Pitt – Angelina Jolie appeared all over the newspapers, the media sought out Ms. Mentewab, currently living in the Central region. Ethiopia, for interview.

Ms. Mentewab’s life is currently not prosperous. She shared that when she learned that the Brangelina couple had now “went their separate ways”, she hoped that Angelina would be the one with the legal right to raise her daughter Zahara. .

Besides, she also wishes that one day she will have the opportunity to meet her biological daughter again, whom she gave away when she was an infant, simply to hear her voice say once: “I just want my daughter to know that I am alive and still waiting to talk to her once. I don’t want my daughter back with me, I just want to be able to contact her and maybe call her occasionally and talk to her.”

Ms. Mentewab Dawit Lebiso is the biological mother of baby Zahara – the adopted daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Zahara is the only child to date of Ms. Mentewab. When she gave birth to Zahara, Mentewab was a poor single woman.

When she gave birth to Zahara in early 2005, Ms. Mentewab was too sick and poor, so she decided to give her daughter up for adoption. The girl was then adopted by Angelina Jolie in mid-2005.

Ms. Mentewab still lives alone and does not have any more children. She shared: “I miss Zahara very much. I think about her every day and look forward to hearing her voice and seeing her face.”

Currently, Zahara is living with her adoptive mother Angelina Jolie when the couple Jolie – Pitt’s marriage has come to an end.

Ms. Mentewab affirmed that the couple Jolie – Pitt gave her daughter everything she could wish for: “Angelina is more than a mother to Zahara, more than anything I can do.” Angelina has been with Zahara since she was an infant. But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss Zahara. I look forward to having a relationship with her.”

Ms. Mentewab said she still remembers Zahara’s birthday every time it comes.

In Ms. Mentewab’s house, there are no pictures of Zahara, because she is afraid that if she hangs pictures of her daughter, sadness will often be present.

Since the day she gave her child away due to poverty and illness, Ms. Mentewab has not had any contact with Zahara.

Even though she lives in a poor village, Ms. Mentewab still occasionally asks people to look up information online to know how big her daughter is now.

Initially, Ms. Mentewab (right) named her daughter Yemasrech, which in Ethiopian means “good news”, but because of poverty and illness, she had to give her away.

Mentewab affirmed that she did not want Zahara to live with her and believed that Angelina Jolie was more than a mother to Zahara. The only thing she wants is to contact Zahara to let her know that she has a biological mother who also loves her very much.
