They sat me down with the newspaper articles and this is what we know, this is what we don't know.
Always knew I was adopted.
That wasn't a secret or anything.
My story was, oh, you were left in a paper bag in an alley by a dumpster.
And so I flat out...
I made a sign that said, hey, I'm looking for this lady, Joanne Hauser.
She found me as a newborn.
And my mom rewatched the video and she goes, that's your mom.
She said, there's no way that that woman can't be your mother.
Look at how she's looking at you.
Look at how she's holding you and just soaking everything in about you.
I was like, hey, just come clean.
She was divorced, had two children, on welfare, no job, and then all of a sudden you have something traumatic happen to you and you pop up pregnant.
You have no way of taking care of a child, you know?
Here's how Janet sees it.
