Noreen recalled the feeling of betrayal she felt when she learned the truth: “I remember when I discovered that I was betrayed and that the truth was hidden from me. I've been wearing that feeling for a long time. It was like I was walking around with a big sign on my back: I was adopted, not wanted. It took me a long time, maybe 30 years, to recover ”.

He is my Heavenly Father and I can trust him. It always reminds me that it doesn't matter who gave birth to me, or even who raised me. I am his daughter ”.
