The children of Roma woman Sasha Ruseva, 38, (not pictured) rest inside their home in southern Bulgaria. Ruseva is believed to have given birth in a hospital in central Greece in January 2009 to the blond girl named Maria, who was found during a police sweep in a Roma settlement in central Greece on October 16. "I do not know whether she is mine or not. We had a child. We left it in Greece as I had nothing to feed her," Ruseva told reporters. "I did not take any money. My daughter left with a man, so there was no one to look after the other children."
