Now 30, Culberson's settled from the shock of meeting her father and learning about her family. She's started a nonprofit foundation for her father's community.

As happy as her biological father may be at finally meeting his daughter, I imagine if she'd been uneducated, adopted into a dirt poor, subsistence farming family in Eastern Europe or Souther Asia, the welcome would've been less enthusiastic.

From her biological family's viewpoint, and that of her tribe, she's more royal than the usual royal family because she's an American. Money speaks, and access to money speaks almost as loudly.

Glad to see that she's making an effort to try and do some good for them, and I hope she's smart enough to actually do some good with her efforts.

I wonder about the circumstances of this adoption. How/why did the newborn daughter of a recent widower who was doing well by the standards of his own society in Africa, end up being adopted in West Virginia, USA? He may have given her up (or sold her) for her own good, but only on condition she go to America.
