Bina Makhijani Muller, who was adopted in 1978 by an Indian couple and taken to Switzerland, has been searching for her biological mother for over a decade. The only clue she has is the name of her biological mother, Robello.
The 44-year-old was born in 1978 and was left at Asha Sadan, an adoption centre in South Mumbai. After that, she was adopted and taken to Switzerland.
“I have been visiting Mumbai in search of my mother since 2011, but I have not succeeded even a bit. I have been now far away from my search,” she said. Bina had completed her DNA profiling, which suggested that she is of Goan origin.
“If anybody knows a woman with the name Rebello from the Goanese area who came to Mumbai and gave birth to me in 1978 then please contact Anjali Pawar who is fighting against child trafficking also. The one who comes forward to help me with any information will be treated discreetly. I was adopted by an Indian and know this will create a social issue, but I am not looking to ruin anybody’s life. I just want to know about my roots and heritage,” Bina appealed.
