Every life’s worth living, every truth’s worth knowing, and every effort’s worth result. Every person we come across has their own story, a different story that nobody knows about. All this starts from one’s childhood, upbringing, friends, schooling and above all, the choices that one makes. This story still leaves people with mixed reactions and we are sure you too will find something strange about the question.

What happens when your life which seemed to be perfectly normal so far isn’t the same anymore? What if it all happens just because of one truth that was hidden? Something similar happened to a guy who was in his 30s whose life completely changed after knowing one truth. It was no simple truth that wouldn’t make much of a difference rather it was an answer to all the questions that were in this person’s mind about his existence. Steve Carter, at present 39 years old, lived a regular life until one day when his curiosity unraveled the biggest answers about his life.

Not Interested In Past

 

“We belonged to an adoptee/birth parent clearinghouse (ALMA) that connects people who are looking for each other but never received any messages. When Steve turned 18, we asked him if he wished to continue registering on the site and he declined,” his father said in an interview. But Steve’s interest was soon to return about this topic.

Imagination Starts To Run Away

When Steve Jr. started living away from his parents, he started thinking about his birth parents which were a matter of laughter in his family. “With his blonde hair, blue eyes, and a light complexion,” his father explained in an interview and further added, “[he] does not strike one as being of Polynesian extraction.” This was now a confusing fact for him as the records said he was Hawaii but his features were opposite.

Unexpected Christmas

With so much going on in his mind, Steve Jr. decided to just see if he is Hawaiian or not. It was Christmas season and he got a DNA testing kit as one of his Christmas presents. Steve didn’t give it a second thought and took the test. The test result was opposite to what the Carter family assumed all this while.

Not Hawaiian

Steve received the reports and he couldn’t believe that he had Scandinavian ancestry, which meant he was European. He was hoping this will end his curiosity and will help in living a normal life but the DNA reports made him more confused than ever. Signs were pushing Steve Jr. towards his past.

Married Man

By this time he was a married man and was a bit doubtful if he should give it a try or not. In such moments of doubts, Tracey, his wife always supported him and insisted on him giving things a try as it might take him to a point where he could finally give his past life a closure.

Scrolling, Scrolling

Steve once got access to the site started scrolling and scrolling. After scrolling more than 100s of time, his eyes instantly stopped at a photo and he was numb for a moment. It was just a beginning of all the unraveling process and Steve had no idea of where to start from. Was someone somewhere looking for him? And if that was the case then how did he even end up in foster care.
