At first, Marisa was held in a foster home and her mother could visit her once a week. Little did she know, but that signature was used to take Marisa away. But then later when she was drowsy with pain medication, she says a nurse got her to scribble a line on a blank piece of paper. It turns out that when Marisa was born on June 13, 1977, in Bogota, Colombia, her mother was offered an adoption form, which was common at the time for unwed mothers and she refused to sign it. She was at a softball game when the PI called to say that he was with Marisa’s birth mother and that she had never forgotten her. So Marisa agreed, and within a week she got a phone call from the PI.
Two years later, in 2014, a well-known private investigator read her entry and said he would be able to connect her with her biological family. In 2012, she posted a Facebook note about her search on a board dedicated to adoptions from Columbia. Marisa knew very little about her heritage, but she did know that she was from Columbia, and in 2010, she started using her birth surname, Bocanegra. This led to tension in the family and she moved out when she was 16. She was given an American name and her adopted family provided for her, but she never really felt like she fit in. In 1977, Marisa Bocanegra was adopted at six weeks old out of Columbia and she grew up in Burnsville, Minnesota.
