A Russian TV show yesterday hosted Gulsum Kabadayi, a Turkish woman who has been nursing a Russian boy for the last five years, since she found him unconscious and undergoing treatment at a hospital in Antalya and then named him Umut, meaning "Hope."  Umut soon received a Turkish ID card, identifying him as Mustafa Oz, and was placed under state care upon his release. Calling Russian citizens and authorities to help find Umut's real family, Kabadayi said, "I took him four years ago when he was like a baby. Now he is a healthy boy. I have three sons, and he is my fourth." Russian deputy Roman Khudyakov, who was on the show with Kabadayi, even kissed her hand in gratitude, thanking her and the Turkish authorities for taking care of the boy, whose identity remains unknown.
