Oluwafemi Hollinger-Janzen (born 14 December 1993) is a Beninese former footballer.
Hollinger-Janzen was born on 14 December 1993 in Cotonou, Benin. A mission worker named Lynda Hollinger-Janzen was working in a church-based health care center in Benin, in the maternity department. Women would arrive well into labor, pay $3 to have their babies’ umbilical cords cut with sterile instruments, then leave a few hours later. A maternity doctor burst in the room with an abandoned child... one with a deformed leg. That child was Femi. After a few attempts of connecting the birth mother to him, it failed. When Femi was 6, the birth father signed off on him being adopted, and the birth mother was considered legally incapable of caring for her child. A family court judge then granted Femi's adoption into the Hollinger-Janzen family. He was officially adopted in 1999.[1]
