Family adopt a 5 yr old girl but when she learns to speak english they discover the horrifying truth

many americans are turning to overseas adoption to fulfill their visions for their family although they have good intentions they are guided by international adoption agencies to find children who need homes one ohio couple went through this process believing they'd found a daughter who would complete their family little did they know she had a terrible secret when adam and jessica davis decided they wanted to adopt a child they were overjoyed they already had four children of their own but they were growing up it was time for another child however they didn't think it made sense to have another biological child when there were so many unwanted children they also didn't need to adopt a baby they decided to search for an agency to help them adopt internationally the davis has started working with an agency based in ohio called european adoption consultants the goal of the agency was to give orphans the opportunity to find parents in america that seemed like a worthy goal to the davis family after a short period of time the agency called to tell the couple about a girl they located her name was nemata and she desperately needed a home the agency said nematha's father had died and that her abusive mother wanted nothing to do with her if she did not leave uganda she would have no future although the agency said there was a fee of dollar 150 000 the davis decided money didn't matter they already thought of nemita as a member of the family they flew to uganda to pick her up but they had no idea that not everything was as it seemed this was in 2015 when they met nemita they loved her immediately she lived in a terrible place called god's mercy orphanage the couple knew they had to get her away from a filthy group home they finalized the adoption and soon they returned to america with a new member of their family adam and jessica introduced nemata to their four children they nicknamed hermata it felt like a perfect fit no one suspected anything was wrong matzah quickly became accustomed to life in the u.s she did well in school and learned english but as her english improved so did her ability to communicate something big one year later mata loved her new family and also had much better english skills she started referring to her old life with details that didn't make sense to adam and jessica she discussed her mother her village her siblings and how much she loved them this didn't match the story about matza's life that was in her adoption file a horrible revelation dawned upon the couple namada was never an orphan she lived with a loving family and they never wanted to give her away the family was baffled about how she ended up at the orphanage the couple knew they needed to do something so they called karen riley an activist who reunites traffic children with their mothers riley agreed that this story was the media often ignores a prime example of a side of trafficking that riley told the davis that she found nemita's mother and they immediately set up a skype call so that she could know that nemita was okay nemita's mother had a harrowing story the adoption agency had pulled a common scam in international adoption they arrived in nemita's village and started offering to match children with sponsors in the u.s who would take their children to america for an education the parents believed their kids were going to school in america and would soon return they did not know that the agency was taking custody and selling the children to unsuspecting families in the u.s adam and jessica were in agony because they loved mata but she belonged with her family they made the decision to take mata back to her family they had an amazing reunion in uganda they were ecstatic to see her again they were grateful to the davis for doing the right thing in bringing her home european adoption consultants have been doing this for years unfortunately most children were not returned to their homes the fbi raided their office and stopped them from transferring child guardianships although they're out of business other nefarious adoption agencies continue to scam people and steal their children the davis family completed a miracle by sending nomad to home they're committed to working with advocates like riley to reunite more families and their children this is a cautionary tale about working with groups demanding large sums of money with a story of child abandonment
