An emotional reunion has touched hearts as 21-year-old American woman Camille Harold reconnected with her biological Ghanaian father, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Rtd) Jordan Quaye, after being adopted at birth in the U.S.
Camille’s years-long search led her to Ghana, where media personality Kofi Adoma helped trace her roots.
Her story, shared publicly, triggered a wave of responses—including one from Mr. Quaye’s niece, confirming the striking details Camille had provided.
“It was my niece Janet who called me at dawn to say a young lady was searching for a police officer named Jordan. The description fit me,” Mr. Quaye recalled.
He explained that in the early 2000s, Camille’s mother moved to the U.S. while pregnant. Despite his opposition, she gave the child up for adoption.
A DNA test, processed through South Africa and Canada, confirmed with 99.99999% certainty that Camille was his daughter.
“I had no choice but to sign the adoption papers, but I prayed every day that I’d live to meet her,” he said, his voice shaking with emotion.
Camille, overwhelmed with joy and tears, confirmed she had spoken to Mr. Quay and was certain of the connection.
“I was crying so much this morning. I’m just so grateful to finally meet my dad,” she said, noting that differences in names made it difficult to trace her mother.
Mr. Quaye, who has since retired, lightened the mood, joking that he still has the power to arrest anyone who disturbs his daughter.
“If anyone plays around you, I’ll use Interpol,” he quipped.
Camille says she plans to visit Ghana soon with her adoptive family, who are equally excited.
Meanwhile, Mr. Quay has pledged to help her locate her biological mother, whom he knew as Vida.
“Whatever happened in the past, I forgive her. For Camille’s sake, I’ll do everything I can.”
