My Adoption Story and Origin Search

Receiving information from Canada

Before the trip I receive a call from the SAI to tell me what they had found during the investigation. They confirm who my mother is, though I already know this by means of a DNA test. Papers from the orphanage with all the information pertaining to the progress of the newborn up to the moment of the adoption are found in the file.

The father’s name is not included but there is a description. It said that at my birth, October 1955, he was 21 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds, had blue eyes and black hair, studied attended school until the seventh grade and worked in a mill in the city of Chicoutimi. His personal characteristics claimed to be a hard-working and honest man. Already at this point I noticed a conflict between the SAI information and what my mother was saying. A rapist is not an honest man. She may have provided false information about him when she arrived at the orphanage.
