Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could reportedly lose Zahara after her alleged mother came forward to claim her back. But the power couple has no obligation to contact their daughter's blood family and relatives.

The African Echo quoted Wide Horizons for Children, the group that facilitated Zahara's adoption, as saying that everything was done aboveboard.

Tsegaye Berhe, the organization's spokesperson for Ethiopia, alleged, "We have to trust the documents we received from the local government."

Apparently, the grandmother approached the group to say that Zaraha's mother had died and she was left all alone.

"Angelina Jolie has no obligation to keep in touch with Zahara's blood family. It's up to the adoptive parent, we cannot force them," Berhe added.

Zahara's biological mother was previously reported to have died from AIDS.

Angelina Jolie's friends rallied behind Brad Pitt's wife in the wake of the controversy involving their daughter and they believe that the woman, identified as Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, couldn't be her mother.

"Angelina believes that Zahara is an orphan and the woman who claims to be her mother is mistaken. Government papers said Zahara was an Aids orphan and Angie had no reason to believe otherwise," the report said.

In her appeal, Lebiso said, "I want my daughter to come home to see where she is from. Her grandmother and I both tried very hard to raise her, and I want her to come home to regain her identity. I thought the baby was going to die because there was no food, so I ran away."

The National Enquirer, per Celebrity Dirty Laundry, claimed that the possibility of losing their daughter Zahara was one of the issues in the marriage troubles between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

"Angelina is a basket case, and making everyone in the Jolie-Pitt house's lives a living hell because she is scared that Zahara's birth mother could take the child back, and Zahara wants to go!" the report said.
