A girl who was kidnapped from her parents as a newborn baby has finally returned home after 17 years and that was because she bumped into her identical sister at school.
On April 30, 1997, Zephany Nurse, who is now 17, vanished from Woodstock in South Africa three days after she was born, and according to the police report, she was taken by a woman when her mother fell asleep in the hospital and when the when the nurse came to wake the mother up, Zephany was gone – but her parents Celeste and Morne never lost faith in finding her, UK Mirror reports.
The parents who kept their faith of someday re-uniting with their stolen child would every year celebrate their daughter’s birthday on 28th of April, with a cake with her name on it.
In a 2010 interview, the girl’s biological father Morne said: “I’ll never, ever give up hope. I can feel it in my gut – my daughter is out there and she is going to come home.”And as fate would have it, the lost baby now 17years old reunited with her parents last year – and it started when school pupils started to point out the amazing similarities between Zephany and another girl in a different class – When her biological parents heard about this, they invited her over for tea and were stunned by the resemblance.
When she arrived, the couple were so stunned by her resemblance to their other three daughters they called police – and DNA tests later confirmed their suspicions.
However, a 50-year-old woman was arrested in connection with Zephany’s disappearance and has appeared in court, and the suspect is being charged with kidnapping, fraud and contravening sections 32 (4) (a) and (b) of the Children’s Act.
That’s was we call miracle or what do you think???
