Reportedly David Kildendal Nielsen, as he defines a life-changing moment from July 2018 “For 40 years you haven't seen your mother. And one afternoon when you’re sitting at home in denmark, you receive an email with the photo of the woman, the one who you’ve been looking for your whole life”. Meanwhile the woman he is referring to is his birth mother, Dhanalakshmi, who David finally saw in flesh and blood just a few days ago after years of searching.
Reportedly 40 year old David was adopted by Danish parents when he was about 16 months old from an orphanage in chennai, and his birth name was Santhakumar. Previously in 2013, David had an urge to find out about his past, and thus began the search for his birth parents that culminated with David finally meeting Dhanalakshmi in manali near chennai on november 23. Furthermore the eagerly anticipated meeting was beyond emotional for the two, and even now, David finds himself at a loss for words when asked to describe the turn of events.
Presently David, who works as a trader at a bank, is married and has twin boys. He said “My next step is to bring back my wife and children so they can get to know their grandma. They can get to get to know about their indian heritage and to get a sense of indian culture. Not just for me, I feel it is also important for my children to get to know their indian roots”.
