Reunion After 27 Years: A Daughter Finds Her Father on Facebook
A woman recently reconnected with her father through Facebook after nearly three decades apart.
Queen Solara Khadijah Tor, who’s 27, was raised by her mother alongside her two sisters. During her childhood, she never really thought much about where her father was.
In July 2025, out of curiosity, she checked her birth certificate and learned her father’s name was Mountaga Toll, who is now 69. A DNA test confirmed her Guinean heritage, and she felt a surge of clarity regarding her father’s identity.
Turning to Facebook, Queen Khadijah enlisted the help of volunteers known as “search angels,” who located her father’s last known address in Atlanta, Georgia, conveniently close to where her partner lived.
Since the address wasn’t current, she posted a message in a group called The Girl Code Atlanta. A cousin, unaware of her search, stumbled upon her post and reached out.
On July 30, 2025, she received a WhatsApp call from Mountaga, marking their first conversation. Queen Khadijah is now planning a visit to Guinea in West Africa to finally meet him.
Queen Khadijah, a content creator based in Atlanta, reflected, “Growing up with a single parent seemed totally normal to me. Kids don’t really question things like that.”
She expressed disbelief upon speaking to her father for the first time. “I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I never had a father figure until now, but he’s been incredibly supportive since.”
“I feel so blessed to finally have this connection,” she added, acknowledging that whenever she asked her mother about her father, it usually ended in silence. “Eventually, I realized I had to search for answers myself.”
Her initial Facebook post sought help finding her father. “Thanks to these amazing search angels, we turned up several addresses, and the last known one was in Atlanta,” she shared.
She and her partner, Damilea, 34, even knocked on the door of the found address, but Mountaga wasn’t home. Feeling hopeful, she posted again on Facebook, pleading for any leads.
“I’m desperately looking for my biological father,” her message read. “I don’t even know if he’s still alive, but I really hope so.”
Miraculously, within a day, she received messages from a man claiming to be her cousin. They quickly organized a group chat, which led to her sharing her phone number with her father.
Then the moment finally came. On July 30, 2025, Mountaga called her from Guinea, where he currently resides. He met Queen Khadijah’s mother in December 1994 and welcomed her into the world on March 8, 1998.
Regrettably, in July 2005, when Queen Khadijah was just four years old, Mountaga was deported to Guinea from New Hampshire, cutting off all contact with her until now.
“When I picked up the phone, I nearly cried,” Queen Khadijah recounted. “He told me, ‘Khadijah, thank God, I’ve been praying for this.’”
He shared family stories, including details about her mother and sisters, some of whom had been adopted. “I spent a lot of my childhood feeling really low, even contemplating terrible things, but during that call, I felt so grateful to be alive for this moment.”
“Now, not a day goes by without talking to him,” she added.
Mountaga, on his part, recalled the day he received the call from Khadijah’s cousin, expressing his overwhelming joy when he recognized her in the photos shared. “I prayed every single day, holding on to the hope that she would find me again,” he said.
