We found Yevgenia's
father!

Recently we had a
call from a distant
Siberia. Young girl
was looking for her
Nigerian father, whom
she haven't seen for
over 10 years. We
knew very little detail,
and luckily could help
Yevgenia!

    WE WERE INFORMED THAT DR AMOS ADEKOYA DIED ON 22 MARCH 2008.
    OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF DR ADEKOYA. WE ARE SORRY
    THAT WE WERE TOO LATE.

    1.                                       Dr. Amos Ayinla Adekoya

    DoB:                                1949
    Area of search:            Kaduna, Nigeria
    Who is searching:       Arthur Adetoro Adekoya
    Searching since:         1995

    Message : I am looking for my father dr.A.A.Adekoya. He came from Africa to Ukraine,
    Simferopol in the end of 70-s to study Medicine in Krymskij Medical Institute.  There he met
    my mother, Zoya Borshaj and married her in 1979 in Simferopol. He graduated in 1980 as a
    Gynaecologist. I was born in the same year, and shortly we all left for Kaduna, Nigeria. My
    father was serving as a medical doctor in the Nigerian Army (Nigerian Army Reference
    Hospital Kaduna Nigeria). We think that this is the name of the hospital where he was
    serving.
    We stayed in Kaduna until 1983. My mother gave birth to my baby brother, but unfortunately
    the baby died from a disease (I am unsure what it was). My mother, distressed at the death
    of my brother, decided to return to Ukraine, and took me with her. We lived in Ukraine ever
    since.
    My father was in contact with me until 1997, he called, wrote to me and visited. He invited me
    to travel to Nigeria, but my mother was against me going there.  Because of the conflict, she
    severed all the contacts with him.  I tried to write to the old address of my father, but the
    letters had been returned to me unable to reach the recipient.
    I really want to meet my father again and tell him about my wonderful wife, whom I married in
    2005 and  my baby daughter, his granddaughter. I wish to introduce them to my father.
    I think that since we moved houses and changed our address several times, this was the
    reason why he couldn't contact me.
    As far as I know, my father was an owner of a private clinic:
    я знаю,что у моего отца есть своя клиника A.P.3 Gamagika Rd, Unguwan Sanusi, Tudun-
    Wada, Kaduna,Nigeria. I wrote there but had no response. May be it is an old address or my
    letter did not reach him.
    Also I have a postal address of my father's friend   Dr A.W Ajiduku PO Box 92 Gwagwalada F.
    C.T. Abuja Nigeria.

    I also know that my grandparents lived somewhere not far from Lagos and one my uncles
    lives in Washington. My father were contacting my mother through him.

    I have few photos of my father, which I hope may be useful. On a group photo my father is
    next to my mother and me amongst his fellow students of Medical Institute in Simferopol.
    I would be grateful for any information about my father.

Grigorij from Belarus was
adopted at a young age. Only
after he turned 18 he could
access the files where he found
that his father was from DR
Congo. We successfully
established contact with
Grisha's biological father in
Brazzaville. He never knew
about Grisha. Now they are in
contact with each other, and
there is a hope for a happy end!
