What, in Morocco? Morocco is one of the few Muslim countries which DON'T persecute Christians; that's why I imagined the birth family having felt safe to go there. And if she WERE in a Muslim prison, I guarantee you she would not be given an international phone call! On the other hand, we could say the birth family HAD BEEN in some trouble, but the U.S. Consulate helped them, and it would be FROM the U.S. Consulate that Mrs. Jakakens WOULD be able to phone America. You still haven't said what would have become of the birth father. You also have neither confirmed nor denied my guess that Chilena Elizabeth (bet the Havens would have kept that as her middle name) was only HALF-sister to her birth brothers, that they had a different mother who either died or was divorced.
