What happens when you find out — as an adult — that everything you believed about your identity is a lie?

Diana Kayla Hochberg was not adopted. She was sold through a black-market baby broker. In this unforgettable talk, Diana shares how one casual comment in Las Vegas unraveled the life she thought she knew and launched her on a decades-long search for the truth.

From stolen records and DNA surprises to grave visits and international legal hurdles, her journey is both heartbreaking and empowering. This is a story of loss, resilience, and the fight to reclaim what was taken: her identity, her voice, and her rights.
