Dec 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Nadine Coyle, star of ‘Girls Aloud’ visited Thailand just after the tragic Boxing Day tsunami of 2004. While she was there, she met a four year old orphan who lost his parents in the disaster. Now the singer says she will be “haunted forever” by the face of the boy, named Lui, and will always regret not fighting through the red tape which would have been required for her to get him.

Coyle began the proceedings for adoption, but soon decided to give up after seeing how “complex” the paperwork was going to be. She shared with The Sun just how much she now regrets that decision, and how she wishes that she could track the boy down now.

“He wouldn’t let go of me the whole week I was there. Even though I really wanted to rescue him and keep him safe it was just too complex to adopt him. I spoke to my family about it and my mum and dad said they were going to help me out. I’m going to be haunted forever by little Lui’s face. It just seems really, really stupid now that I let a load of complications stop it happening.”

“It was literally a matter of life and death for him to find a new home. Now every Boxing Day when I’m sitting around with my family, I can’t help thinking about what’s happened to him. I wish I could track him down. It will always be the biggest regret of my life that I didn’t take him in.”
