One Conversation. One Secret. A Truth That Changed Everything.
For nearly 40 years, I believed I knew who I was — until a single sentence shattered everything.
A casual remark from a trusted family friend, whose past included work in intelligence, unraveled secrets I never imagined:
I was adopted.
That revelation ignited a relentless journey across decades and continents — exposing a black-market adoption ring, hidden identities, and links to organized crime.
What started as an ordinary trip became a life-altering quest for truth, identity, and belonging.

REVIEWS
“Diana's self-perception was incomplete, and it required many years for her to discover the truth. She continued her investigation, adopting the role of a private detective. Her story resembles that of a mystery or thriller novel, though it is based on real events. The narrative takes readers on a journey to various locations. "c.o.n.n.e.c.t.e.d, finding my truth" provides an immersive reading experience, creating the impression of accompanying her on this search.
The book, “c.o.n.n.e.c.t.e.d, finding my truth,” is a must read to those of us in search of our biological family.
I encountered Diana during the completion of her book. We discussed ideas extensively, and I am honored to be acknowledged in her work.” - Shirley Munoz Newson - Wyoming - April 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This book was an incredible story and hard to believe it is not fiction! The writing is straight forward and easy to follow. One is quickly drawn in. Diana's determination and investigative skills to discover who she really is, increase as her story goes on. She ran into many obstacles and kept pressing on as her story evolves. There is mystery, intrigue and all kinds of interesting characters she encounters.
I have known Diana during the writing of this personal life story. She has discovered there are others who share similar stories but none come close to hers.
This book is a great read and I highly recommend it. It is a true story unlike any you've heard before!” - Barbara Berry - South Carolina - April 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Loved the book, Diana! Having been born and raised in Vancouver & being familiar with the various landmarks and iconic hotels & history PLUS seeing my mothers’s picture on the front cover with your birth mother was truly special! What an incredible journey you went through! Your tenacious spirit was so inspiring. This book should be a movie! Great read.” - Lindsay Low - Vancouver BC, Canada - April 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
