FILE - In this Aug. 17, 2016 photo, Marie-Ange Haitis, 40, stands with her daughter, Samantha, at their home in Leogane, Haiti. Haitis says she met a Sri Lankan commander in December 2006 and he soon began making nighttime visits to her house. In 2016, Sri Lankan and U.N. officials said that a onetime payment of $45,243 had been made for Haitis' daughter. The United Nations said Sri Lanka accepted the paternity claim without proof of DNA and the commander was dismissed from service. But such payments are rare. (AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery)
