Throughout her life, Susan Gervaise believed she had been adopted.
Only 53 years later, almost by chance, the truth was revealed: it was discovered that her true family, never ceasing to hope, had been searching for her since 1969.
Little Susan was taken by the neighbors: they promised her parents to take the girl to Disneyland with their own children.
As later discovered, these people had initially planned to take Susan and not return her to her parents.
The girl’s new family moved first to Canada, then to other countries. The final destination was New Zealand.
Susan, at the age of four, was told she had been given up for adoption, and she believed it her whole life.
The girl grew up, graduated, lived in a beautiful home, and traveled all over the world.
It was only when Susan went to renew her passport that she became suspicious: there were no adoption documents in the records.
Susan began to question her “family,” and eventually, the truth was told to her. Naturally, the situation astonished the woman.
A few months later, she managed to find her biological parents: it was discovered that those 53 years had not stopped them from searching for her.
The past cannot be changed anymore. The woman accepted what had happened to her and did not sever ties with her “adoptive parents.”
