Mumbai: It was an emotional moment for Nilakshi Elizabeth Jorendal, the India-born Swedish national, as she met her ailing biological mother in Yavatmal.<\/p>\n

Nilakshi (44), who was adopted by a Swedish couple when she was three-year-old, had managed to trace her biological mother through Anjali Pawar of Pune-based NGO – Against Child Trafficking.<\/p>\n

“It was an emotional reunion on Saturday at the government hospital in Yavatmal. The mother-daughter duo broke into tears,” Pawar told PTI.<\/p>\n

“Nilakshi, who was on a mission to trace her biological parents, had met her mother briefly earlier but this was a more elaborate, public reunion,” she said.<\/p>\n

Nilakshi biological father, a farm laborer, had committed suicide in 1973, the year she was born at Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission’s shelter-and-adoption home in Kedgaon near Pune.<\/p>\n

Nilakshi’s mother had left her there and later remarried and has a son and daughter from the second marriage. They too were present at the hospital on Saturday, Pawar said.<\/p>\n

The center gave Nilakshi in adoption to a Swedish couple in 1976.<\/p>\n

“Nilakshi had been visiting India since 1990 to trace her biological mother. She visited India six times for this,” Pawar said.<\/p>\n

Both the mother and daughter suffer from thalassemia, she said, adding, “During the meeting on Saturday, she assured her biological mother’s kin of all help in her treatment.”
