Adopted Woman Searching For Biological Family Learns She's Related To A Huge Celebrity

Patricia Lofton knew from the beginning that her mother gave her up for adoption when she was just a few days old because of financial strains. She accepted it, but it was always at the forefront of her mind. As she grew up, she developed a serious itch to find out as much as she could about her biological mother. However, it was in the midst of this search that she uncovered something so extraordinary it not only made headline news, it completely changed her entire way of life.

A Rough Childhood

Her mother already had three children when she gave birth to Patricia, and she was on welfare. Unfortunately, Patricia bounced around foster homes until the age of seven when she was officially adopted.

Feeling Alone

Throughout her childhood, Patricia never felt like she truly fit in with her family. She knew nothing about her biological mother, and she felt a noticeable disconnect between her world and the one surrounding the people in her life.

Teenage Troubles

Patricia's life grew even harder when she was in high school. She became pregnant with a baby girl, but unlike her biological mother, she intended to keep the child. She didn't want her baby to spend her life wondering "what if."

Looking for Her Mom

Around the time Patricia turned 20, perhaps because she was a mother herself, she felt an almost overwhelming urge to track down the woman who gave her up for adoption. She spent hours combing through her adoption papers, but in the end, she found no leads.
