[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. First off, my daughter is not a privledged kid who has no idea about other cultures. She is a very sensitive, hard working girl who will be graduating college next year. And like any child, she has had her share of ups and down.

Did she grow up in the pure chaos of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s? No, and we're not pretending that. But she has also tried to learn as much as she can about conditions through a student's group dedicated to people with roots in that area and has frequent contact with local families that travel back and forth to that area.

Of course, in her mind is some kind of reunion where everyone is crying, takes pictures, and says how similiar they look. And we know that can be the complete opposite of what happens, if anything does occur. I did contact the American embassy in that country to learn about detectives and will also do DNA testing. What I would also like to do is thank everyone who responded, no matter their tone. All of this has provided valuable food for thought.[/quote]

There was a lot of sexual assault and prostitution going on in the Balkans in the 1990s. She could be a product of rape/prostitution. [/quote]
