TayahMaria67
I was born in the spring of 1967 and left on a bench at the Hospital in Bogotá Colombia. I do not know my exact birthday but the date that was chosen was March 20th 1967. The hospital placed me in the orphanage "La casa de la madre y niño" and I was given the name Matilda Osorio Ortiz. I was then chosen for adoption by an american family living in Bogota at the time‚ Janice and Robert Burns at the age of 3 months. At 6 months I traveled on a Colombian passport with them to live in Pakistan for my first 5 years and then continued to live anound the world in many countries over my lifetime. My adoptive parents gave me the name Tayah Maria Burns which I kept until I married at the age of 21. My last name is now Macdonald although I have been single with three children of my own now since 2000. I have been living in Ottawa Ontario Canada since 1993. About 7 or 8 yrs ago I submited my DNA to Ancestry.com to see what I could find. Apparently I have distant 2nd cousins somewhere out there and I am approximately half Colombian and half Spanish from Spain with a small trace of other countries thrown in. I tried to send a message to the distant cousins with no responce. They may not have had an active account Im not sure. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you might provide in next steps to try and locate my parent or any distant relatives. Kind regards‚ Tayh
