NOElisabeth Fjalsett, a 50-year-old woman from Arendal, Norway, has been seeking answers about her own adoption, which she believes may have been illegal. Inspired by an NRK documentary on unlawful adoptions to Norway, she began investigating her past.

Elisabeth now awaits the final report from the Investigative Committee on International Adoptions, established by the Norwegian government in 2023 to examine whether unethical or illegal practices occurred during international adoptions.
