A woman was able to discover her true identity after her birth father gave her an ultrasound image of her in the womb. Born in prison, put into foster care at two and adopted when she was four, Tiegan Boyens was able to piece together her identity and begin to understand “the puzzle of who I am”.
Tiegan, 20, was given the photo when she was 18 as she met her birth father for the first time. She was amazed to discover he had always kept and treasured a sonogram photo of her in the womb.
Growing up, Tiegan, a sociology student from York, always knew she had been adopted, as her loving adoptive mums Maggie, 54, and Anne, 57, talked to her openly about it and sometimes helped her write letters updating her birth grandparents on her life.
