The war that broke between Ethiopia and Eriteria, however, changed their life course. She became one of the many who were deported from Eriteria in 1998, not realizing she was pregnant. Her husband could not follow her.
Upon reaching Ethiopia life became difficult. After she gave birth to Helen, she struggled to find the best way to care for her. Berhan was young and confused. She learned about adoption and gave her baby, wishing her all the best. Helen was given to the orphanage when she was 3 months and was adopted when she was 6 months. Her name was Helen Teklu (after her grandfather’s name).
