The Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai has helped close the distance between a mother and her child she abandoned in Dubai, following the mother's deportation to the Philippines earlier this year.
Temporarily named Shamsa (from the word shams, which translates to 'sun' in Arabic), the baby is now safely in the Philippines.
Dr Abdelaziz Mohamed Al Hammadi, chairman of the selection committee for foster families in Dubai and director of the family cohesion department at the CDA, said giving the baby the opportunity to be raised in her natural environment with her biological mother was the main motivation for the authority's efforts.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, an assistance to national (ATN) officer at the Philippine Consulate-General in Dubai said the baby was endorsed to the consulate on June 29 via the CDA.
On the same day, an ATN officer travelled to the Philippines with the baby. They arrived on June 30 and were received at the airport by staff from the Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
The story of Shamsa- The newborn was abandoned by her Filipina mother earlier this year- She was handed over to the CDA - Her mother was deported before the girl's identity was detected by DNA analysis - Later, the CDA was informed about the DNA match - Together with other authorities and Philippine Consulate, the CDA completed the procedures and the girl was sent to the Philippines to be reunited with her mother |
