Elizabeth Mutafi for the son adopted by Sierra Leone: “Mom” called me at once

Invited to “Morning” with him was found. The well-known actress spoke, among others, about the adoption of the three-year-old Dimitris, by Sierra Leone. Elizabeth Mutafi confessed to the show presented by George Liagas that due to her contacts with Eugenia Dimitropoulou and her businessman Fotini Pantzia the idea of adoption was born. “It may seem strange to you but this is how the idea was born… Too easy! And I wanted to, I was watching the kids in America Square and I think it’s a gift for us, something pretty important. We wanted to adopt a child from Africa and went straight there. She is my friend Eugenia Dimitropoulou, Fotini Pantzia, I have met their children, so I immediately fell in love with the move,” said Elizabeth Mutafi. Elizabeth Mutafi added: “I am asked by many prospective parents how the country from which you can adopt a child is chosen. There’s the International Social Service, where you go and see a Social Officer. You talk, you need papers, they direct you to which countries are currently open for adoption. Sierra Leone and Uganda are among them”. Elizabeth Mutafi also reported: “After you get approval from the committee here, you contact a lawyer there in Africa and accordingly the lawyer, you contact institutions or send you pictures of children. I had four days off from filming, went to Sierra Leone, met Dimitris, but I had chosen him. She sent him to me in a picture, he was the first kid I saw. I wasn’t allowed to say it, I was with Peggy Trikaliotis and I told her because she saw me change color. I was calling my lawyer to tell her it’s him! “Mom” called me at once. The foundation told him, Mom. He loves both his sisters. I really can’t believe how time went by and we did it.”
