My convoluted heritage

So for a while my place and date of birth have been a bone of contention among those who know me. Now get ready for the secret I've kept for years.


I was born in Alberta, Canada on April 14 , 1985 to Martha and Jonathon Braddock. Unfortuneatley, they were not ready to raise a child, and put me up for adoption. My kindly parents, William and Mary Simpson, adopted me and brought me to their home in Ohio. Apparently my birth records had been screwed up, and I was given a new birthday; June 27, 1985, which is what is listed on my official US birth certificate. I didn't find out I was adopted until I was 8 and overheard my mum talking about it on the phone with her friend. A few years later, I revealed I knew the secret, and my parents took me to Canada where I spent a summer with my real parents. Deciding it was ultimately not the life for me, I came back to the US, where I stayed. A few months ago, I found out the Braddocks died, and left me their home in Alberta, but was later destoyed in a rockslide.
