Though Joyce, who is studying law in London, wanted to find her mother in India, it was not an easy task.<\/p>\n<p>It was Anjali Pawar, director of Sakhee Child Rights, who finally ensured this reunion of the mother and child. Lidwin, born to a psychologically ill woman in 1987 was adopted within a year of her birth by a couple from Netherlands. After adoption Lidwin was named Joyce.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was about a year ago when three children who had their roots in India and were adopted by parents abroad, wanted to find out their biological parents in India and Joyce was one among them,\u201d Anjali Pa\u00adwar told Deccan Chronicle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had tried with various international organizations working on adoption but failed. Finally they contacted me. With the help of the adoption papers we found the mother of Joyce,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nAnjali said that Jyoce was the child of a psychologically ill woman in Moodbidri.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoyce\u2019s grandparents to\u00adok her mother to Mount Rosary institution near Moodbidri where she delivered. It was from the same place the child was given for adoption. Within a year of delivery, the child was taken to Delhi and from there to Netherlands,\u201d Anjali said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is natural that when children come to know about their adoption they would like to visit their biological parents. Similarly, Joyce who got to know about her Indian connection wanted to find out her mother and through her friend, contacted us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the help of the adoption papers, we located the institution and her roots at Moodbidri. I found that her mother was in an institution for psychologically sick women,\u201d Anjali added.<br \/>\nFinally on Saturday, Anj\u00adali brought Joyce to her mo\u00adther. It was a touching mo\u00adment when Joyce saw and hugged her mother.<\/p>\n<p>The mother, who still continues to be ill could not recognize her daughter. She remembered that she had delivered a child. But being a patient she did not feel the bondage.\u00a0When she was told that Joyce was her daughter, the only thing she did was smile and eagerly watch Joyce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Deccan Chronicle Girl meets mother after 26 years DC | Gururaj A.
