Miss Penny Mackieson, 69 years old, living in Melbourne, Australia, has been through very difficult and sad years. He was adopted at a young age, then spent years looking for his birth mother. The next thought was happy days, but as it turned out, that person was not Penny’s real mother.
According to The Guardian, Ms. Penny was born at Queen Victoria Hospital in Melbourne in 1963. From an early age, Ms. Penny finds out that she was adopted. He grew up in a family full of love and happiness but did not know who his real mother was.
In 1989, Ms. Penny decides to apply for an adoption certificate to find out the identity of her birth mother. By 1990, Penny had learned her birth name and other information about her birth mother, but her search was futile.
Since then, Penny had to keep looking for her birth mother until 1997, when her twins suddenly died of illness. The death of two children made Mrs. Penny was deeply saddened, and at the same time aware of the sacredness of motherhood. Therefore, this shock prompted him to find his birth mother for sure. Miss Penny contacted the Victorian Adoption Self-Help and Information Network, a Melbourne-based adoption support network, for assistance.
Not long after, Mrs. Penny finds her birth mother and reunites in tears. Since then, Mrs. Penny has always tried to avenge the birth of her biological mother. He thought that these would be the beautiful and happy days of his life, but things did not go according to plan.
After nearly 20 years living with her biological mother, Penny always felt that something was wrong. In 2016, Ms. Penny uses a DNA test kit to study her family tree. Unexpectedly, the results showed that Ms. Penny is 70% of Greek descent and has no English ancestry at all. Meanwhile, Penny’s mother’s family is of British descent.
In 2019, Bu Penny again did a DNA test with her biological mother. The results confirmed that Ms. Penny and the woman he claims to be his biological mother are not related by blood.
Penny reported the incident to the state government’s Adoption Information Service. Upon investigation, they found that there had been a misdelivery of the child at Queen Victoria Hospital.
It turned out that on the day Penny was born, another baby girl was born in the same hospital. Somehow, 2 daughters were given to 2 families by accident without anyone noticing. The mother that Penny finds is not her real biological mother, but the biological mother of the child she is swapped with.
Not long after, Mrs. Penny is related to her mother who was born in Greece. It took more than 60 years for Mrs. Penny to find her birth mother. Unfortunately, this mother is not willing to accept it, there will be no reunion. Mrs. Penny was upset about this, but thinking about it another way, she thought it might be good for herself as well as her mother.
On March 8, 2022, after a 15-minute trial in a Victorian district court, Ms. Penny’s finally over. She was given permission to correct her birth record, including her birth mother’s name and the name her adoptive parents gave her. Penny plans to visit Greece in July for the first time in her life.
