This site details Michelle’s 1976 adoption, forty years of wrongful separation, and our family’s unexpected 2017 reunion.
It began in 1976 when Michelle was placed with a married couple following an illegal adoption scheme arranged by their attorney. This was followed by forty years of separation during which Michelle’s adoptive parents never told her she was adopted. All of this continued until 2017 when a very unexpected match on an Ancestry DNA test finally revealed the truth.
