Angelina Jolie To Reapply On Her Adopting Rights For Zahara It appears that Zahara's mother is still alive	By Mihaela Stroia, Entertainment Editor 23rd of September 2005, 10:51 GMT Adjust text size:

Angelina Jolie will have to reapply for her adopting rights for the little Ethiopian girl, because it appears that the baby's parents are alive. About one month ago, The Sun published an interview with an 18-year old woman called Mentewab Dawit, who claimed she's the natural mother of baby Zahara. Dawit confessed she was forced to let go of her baby because she didn't have money to feed her. At that time Jolie denied the girl still has her parents alive, insisting the case had been studied by London based solicitors Schillings before the adoption. According to late news, Dawit has no intention to take back the child and thanked Jolie for offering Zahara a chance for a better life. "I want to say thank you to Angelina for giving my baby this wonderful, loving family." But, according to Ethiopian laws, Jolie will have to reapply for her adopting rights if she wants to keep the baby and be the legal mother. Ethopian adoption law expert Belay Ketema tells US tabloid the National Enquirer that "the adoption could be illegal because the law in Ethiopia says that if the mother is still alive she must give her consent and in this case that may not have happened. The adoptive mother must appear in court to nullify the old papers and re-apply for adoption. The baby's mother must also appear to give her consent."
