My name is Saviëlle, I am 29 years old and come from Harderwijk. At the age of 2 I was adopted from China. On March 16th I received the incredible news that a DNA match was found with my biological parents. This came as a huge shock - it feels like the impossible has become reality.

Why I want to share this

I know that there are many adoptees in the Netherlands who, like me, never went looking because they thought it was impossible. But thanks to technological advances and the help of volunteers and organizations, much more is possible today.

With my story I hope to inspire other adoptees to give it a try if they have ever thought about it. Sometimes the chance of success is greater than you think.

I would really appreciate it if my story could be shared. If you are interested or know someone who can help with this, I would love to hear from you. Thank you in advance for your time!

I am available for an interview or further explanation and am open to share my experience. Please feel free to contact me.
