Your maternal birth mother’s last name is Heckmann. She named you Patrick‚ though that may not be your name today. Her family was very Catholic.

In addition to that‚ some relatives were sent to the orphanage in Tiffin Ohio and some were put into foster homes. I didn’t meet my dad’s extended family but my mom’s family frequently visited. Upon my parents being told they had a short time to live‚ they told me there’s a chance someone else is my father. It sounds convincing to me. I constantly feel like I don’t belong in this family. I could be wrong but I want to find out‚ because I’ve recently been told I have a sister in S.C. but we can’t put any family together...it’s a big mystery to us.
