Have you ever experienced a sense of detachment, not knowing your origins or feeling like nothing in your life truly matters? While such feelings may fade for many, some individuals persistently grapple with them for a reason.
Such was the case for Steve Carter, an American who, one evening while browsing the internet, stumbled upon a photograph of himself in a rather unexpected place.
Steve Carter was raised by adoptive parents in New Jersey, feeling a void in his life during his youth that he couldn’t quite define.
His childhood memories were sparse, aware of his adoption at the age of 4 without a formal birth certificate, leading him to believe that his adoptive status contributed to his sense of disconnect. However, as he matured, certain inconsistencies in his background raised doubts.
A Shocking Revelation Online
At the age of 35, Steve’s quest for his past intensified. Encountering a woman whose adult adoption was deemed illegal, he turned to the internet for answers. A visit to ‘missingkids.com’ unearthed a photo that deeply unsettled him.

The photo from Missing Kids featured a child, ultimately revealed to be Steve. However, it was the adjacent picture that sent shivers down Steve’s spine, recognizing himself in the image.
It transpired that Steve was indeed listed as a missing child, having been abducted in his youth, unbeknownst to him. His biological father and sister had unwaveringly held onto hope for his eventual discovery.
Watch the video below to listen to Steve recount his story to CNN:

This is truly chilling. Every day, infants are abducted globally, growing up without much recollection of their past.
