Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Imagine not knowing who you really are.
That was my reality when everything I knew about myself was ripped away.
My life was flipped upside down on April 7, 2001, one day before my forty-third birthday.
I received the DNA test results that had answered a lifetime of questions.
Everything – and I mean everything – I knew about myself wasn't true.
I turned into my own private investigator, digging through records and interviewing nurses who worked at the hospital, where my life changed forever
.
It's a devastating and bizarre story, so out of this world that my life even garnered worldwide attention.
The research and wisdom I have gained regarding trauma have given me hope and understanding.
