To All Women, Mothers, and Sisters,of the world
I need your help please, my daughter, Sarah El Gohary, lives in Mit Ghamr, Dakahlia Egypt. Sarah was stolen from me by her father, Magdy Ali El Gohary at the age of three years old, he took my baby from Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A. almost twelve years ago, since May 23, 1997, I have had no contact with my daughter at all, the El Gohary family refuses to let me see my daughter or talk to her. I won custody of Sarah in America in 1997, since then, I have lived in Egypt four times, hired an Egyptian lawyer, won custody in an Egyptian court, and still, I have had no contact with my daughter. The El Gohary family has money and they pay people to do what they want, they have hidden my daughter for twelve years. The family has threatened to harm me if I ever came to Egypt but I put aside my fear, for my daughter, and lived there anyway, I would do anything for her.
I have gone on television, I have been to Washington, D.C. many times to speak with the U.S. government, I have met with The Grand Mufti and he issued a fatwa for Mr. El Gohary, I met the Ambassador to Egypt, I have done everything possible to try and see my daughter but the El Gohary family kept hiding my daughter and running from the law. I have won custody twice in Egypt, once temporary custody and then full custody but Mr. El Gohary kidnapped my daughter again and went into hiding for a year, when he resurfaced, he had gone into court and won custody over mine.
My daughter Sarah will be fifteen years old in April 2009, then she will automatically be under the father's custody, this is what the family is counting on.
Sarah wanted to see me in 2005 the first time I won custody, two social workers from the court reported that to my Egyptian lawyer. Mr. El Gohary said 'no', so I never got to reunite with my daughter. I have no idea what my daughter thinks or what she has been told. I only know one thing she was told, the family told her I was dead. Now she knows I am not dead, what is this doing to her mentally? I was a stay at home mother with Sarah for a little over three years, and then suddenly, she was ripped away from her mother, her home, and everything she knows, and was taken to Egypt and told her mother was dead.
Mr. El Gohary has married since taking Sarah to Egypt, she has many brothers and sisters, but she is the only one without her real mother. I look up at the sky a lot at the moon and think to myself that at least I know my baby and I can see the same moon, then I sing, "Amar Amar" and hope she can hear me, I hope she can hear me cry for her every day, I miss her so much it hurts. She is my only child, I gave birth to Sarah when I was 41 years old. Sarah is my miracle. I have missed most of her childhood, I never got to see her first tooth come out, I never got to take her to school, Mother's Day is so very difficult for me, I feel like my heart is ripped out of me.
I have tried so hard to make contact with Sarah in every way I know how, I need the help of my sisters and women to try and contact my daughter or the family to plead with them to let me see my child. I will never be happy again in my life until I can hold my Sarah, I
love and miss her so much I cannot breathe sometimes. I am begging anyone, mothers, who can feel my pain to please help me make contact with Sarah. Maybe someone knows what school she is in, or someone might know if she has an email address. This is my email address, if it can be passed to Sarah, please let her know that her mother is trying to contact her.

My name is Janet Greer, Sarah El Gohary is my fourteen year old daughter. Her nickname is "Aya". Her family lives in Mit Ghamr, about two hours north of Cairo. The El Gohary family owns many shops in the town as well as an ice cream factory and they manufacture other foods. The American Embassy in Garden City Cairo is very aware of this case, you can give them any information you may have in confidence.
Please help me reunite with my daughter Sarah, I am her mother and she has a right to see me but the family is keeping her from doing this, I am sure she fears them.
I would appreciate any help or information you could give me, en shallah, I will see my beautiful daughter again. Shokoran.
Janet L. Greer

  • I am Egyptian man ...I was crying when I am watching her talking...I am sorry really for thant stupid man

  • I pray that u hug her so soon 4 good & lifetime

    I pass thrue the same profound sadness u can wach them on youtube (born free8) good luck & God bless u dear

  • Why is the world so cruel to such human being. Why is the Innocent individual deprived of the right to see her daughter whereas I live with absolute comfort here. I cannot fathom the fact that life imposes such hardships and obstacles in the path of such an extraordinary example of a sincere woman. I myself, from Canada pray for you to see your daughter again.

    Good luck, Mr.s Greer,

  • @najiballah1 I agree. This woman must have known that this man would not treat her like a human being with rights. She should have never had a child with him in the first place, knowing that he would not want a daughter to be raised with the idea that she had rights of her own, as do all women. Lie down with dogs; wake up with flees.

  • Oh my God. Egypt would be one of the last places I would wish to have a female child grow up.

  • im really sorry ,but if her father is a redneck u,this is normal behavior for them
