Look Who's Talking: Sri Lanka Baby Goes to America
COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's "Baby 81" is going to America.
The island's most celebrated tsunami survivor, three-month-old Abilass Jeyarajah, who was found alive amid debris and then sat at the center of a media circus as his frantic parents underwent DNA tests to win him back, is to appear in his first talk show.
"Abilass is taking us to America," his father Murugupillai told Reuters on Thursday on his way to obtain passports for the trip.
The excited father said he had never been out of the country and the baby had brought him and his wife Jenita luck. They are due to fly out on Sunday courtesy of an American television network, reportedly ABC's "Good Morning America."
