A Florida woman was determined to find the birth family she never knew she had. The trail led to the New York area, where she and her girlfriend now live.
In 2019, Davida Ross Hu wanted to travel to England, so she applied for her first passport. The process did not go as expected — in fact, it reshaped her family history and triggered a move to another state.
“When I applied for the passport,” she recalled, “I got a response letter requesting 10 proofs of identification.”
She pulled together bank statements, insurance cards, school IDs, work IDs — rifling through old files and boxes, looking for anything that would help prove her identity. She gathered just enough to satisfy the request and, eventually, received her passport.
But the process of proving who she was to the passport agency sparked a change in the way Ms. Ross Hu understood her own identity.
