ANGELINA JOLIE: ZAHARA'S biological MOTHER speaks out!
Considering the size of Jolie's brood, it's not entirely surprising that this day finally came...
Her daughter Zahara, who was believed to be an orphan and was adopted by Angelina Jolie at 6 months old, may have the opportunity to meet her biological mother, who has shown up for the first time.
Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, who is 31 and lives in Ethiopia, has made a specific and public request of Angelina.
“I do not want my daughter back" she said “I just want her to know that I am alive and here and long to be able to speak with her."
The young woman, who became pregnant as a result of a rape, was forced to give Zahara up for adoption after falling ill in 2005.
With Jolie herself in the middle of a messy divorce, it's not clear how this new piece of news will affect the family...
