My Name is Maureen Dabbagh. For six years I have been struggling with the worst nightmare any parent can imagine. My little girl has been stolen from me. Six years ago, I was living a life of happiness. I had a beautiful daughter named Nadia, a husband and I was doing work as a trauma nurse that made me feel like I was making a difference in peoples lives. Six years ago all that ended. It turns out my husband had decieved me and in fact was wanted for crimes in several countries.  He escaped from the U.S. and took my daughter as a hostage. I lost my husband and my daughter on the same day. I thought the government of the United States would help me.  And some of them tried. The FBI, Interpol and American embassies abroad have worked aggressively to find my child. Voice of America has recently put up a website and made announcements all over the middle east asking for information on Nadia. But often, I found that the US government impeded the process of getting my daughter home.  There are laws against abducting a child and taking them to a foreign country. However, I have since found that these laws are basically political fluff.  They look good, but you cannot get the government to act on them. So I gave up my job and began struggling to get my daughter back myself. I educated myself on International Abductions to the point that I wrote a book on it to help other parents. Now, we know where my child is. Nadia is being held in Syria. The government of Syria announced in June of 1998 for the first time ever to U.S. authorities that in fact they do know where Nadia is. There is absolutely no reason for Nadia to be in Syria. Contrary to false reports from the Syrian Embassy in Washington, Nadia's father is not in Syria. They just say that so people will stop writing. I have full legal custody in both the US and Syria. There are no problems with the paperwork. For some unknown reason, someone in Syria wants to hold my daughter hostage. Whether this is related to the ransom demands I have received in the past, I cannot say for certain. No one will tell me the REAL reason my daughter is being held as a prisoner in Syria. I need to say that the people of Syria have been wonderful to me. Many have written letters to their own government officials supporting my efforts to bring Nadia home. This is just a few people in the Syrian government with questionable motives... Help me bring my baby home. Will you write a letter for Nadia? Will you send just few minutes of your time to help me save my little girl? Please ask the Syrian Ambassador to the United States to send Nadia home. You can send your letters to: Embassy of the Syrian Arab Republic Ambassador Walid Mualem Wyoming Ave. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20008 Call, fax or write... and "politely" ask is Nadia coming home TODAY? Syrian Ambassador phone 1-202-232-6313 Syrian Ambassador fax 1-202-797-1899 PLEASE HELP SAVE MY LITTLE GIRL BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BUT THOSE OF YOU READING THIS LETTER THAT CAN HELP ME ! According to an embassy cable, Hisham described Nadia as a typical teenager, who liked to do her hair, listen to music and watch television. She was very pretty, an excellent student who liked mathematics and chemistry, spoke some English, and talked of becoming a pharmacist. In 2008, when she turns 18, she will be old enough to leave Syria and her father without his permission.
