Woman Finds Out Her Biological Mother Who Abandoned Her in the Cold Lives Next Door – Story of the Day
|Anna always knew she was adopted and loved her parents dearly. But she got a DNA test just in case to see if there were any matches. Nothing happened for years until her family made contact and wanted to meet her for a strange reason.
At the age of 43, Anna decided to get one of those popular DNA test kits. She didn’t know anything about her bloodline, and these tests were supposed to give you so much information, not just about genetic connections, but health-wise too.
She had no interest in meeting her biological family. Her adoptive mother, Linda, said that they found her on the side of the road during a horrible snowstorm. Anna asked them about that when she was just eight years old.

“Your dad stopped the car just a few miles away from our house, thinking he saw something on the road, but it was too dark to see much beyond the car lights,” Linda recalled. “I think it was fate or something.”
“What happened next?” 8-year-old Anna asked eagerly.
“We got out of the car, and I told your dad that it was just too cold. We needed to get home to your brothers and sisters. But he walked a few steps forward. That’s when we heard your cries,” Linda explained. “Alan ran and saw you crawling around next to a basket in the snow.”
“Yeah. Well, we took you home. We didn’t know what to do. You must have been around six months old at the time. We already had six children, but then we fell in love with you and never looked back. You were our kid too,” Linda said fiercely and hugged 8-year-old Anna.
Anna never forgot that memory, but as an adult, she learned the real story. Linda and Alan were struggling with money to provide for their big family, but no one was adopting in the snowy town of Bozeman, Montana.
They would have sent Anna to an orphanage straight away but Linda refused to let that happen because Anna had already gone through so much as a baby. They didn’t have the heart for the child to be abandoned again.
So they adopted her despite their financial struggles and loved her like she was their own. Her siblings were terrific as well, and she was closest to their youngest girl, Ofelia. It was Ofelia who wanted to try out the DNA tests.
