Inexplicable Events: Was She Kidnapped or Was She a Gift?

An olive-skinned Greek couple protests the unfounded accusation of kidnapping their only fair-haired child.

  • She is adopted, the Roma couple asserts from jail. Bulgaria is full of pale looking little girls up for adoption. No kidding. If you don’t believe us, just take the Orient Express from Paris to Sofia and visit that land of unwanted pallid children.

And few believe them. As always, the European Roma are prone to suffer from wild speculations about how they dabble in human trafficking and illegal adoption rackets. All these accusations are hard to prove. Just look at the picture of the three-member family: the fair-haired girl and her adoptive parents, mama Eleftheria and papa Christos. They all look so … content to be together. The little girl even has her own bottle of water, though only for the picture-taking, then she returns it to her new family for safe-keeping and Christmas collection.

TPV is trying hard not to be biased in this instance; especially that spending time away from school and living in a tent with people of all ages and trades may be a truant’s dream come true. Still at 5 a girl may like a more structured life style, and we do not mean early begging hours or singing in the streets of Athens for a few euros.

In other words, it is hard to keep our liberal bent under these circumstances.
