Image description

Yen Kan, the biological mother of Australian 18-year-old Aimee Butler (not in picture), kneels before Sue Butler (R), Aimee's adoptive mother, to thank her for raising the girl during a tearful reunion in Taipei September 29. Yen was unmarried and had little money when she handed the girl over to an illegal adoption ring that arranged her placement with Butler and her husband, 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. At left is an unidentified friend and man behind is Ian Butler, husband of Sue and adoptive father of Aimee. JKP/CC/ME
