Image description

In a tearful reunion in Taipei, Australian 18-year-old Aimee Butler (face on L) hugs her biological mother, Yen Kan, 40, of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan September 29. Soon after Aimee's birth in 1980, Yen, who was not married and had little money, handed the girl to an illegal adoption ring that arranged her placement with an Australian couple, leaving no official records. Aimee's curiosity about her Taiwan roots intensified in July amid publicity about another Australian girl tracking down her Taiwanese birth mother. A search followed and DNA tests confirmed Aimee's blood ties to Yen. JKP/JJ/ME
