Necla Ozmen’s story begins in a Turkish hospital in 1970, where she claims a stillborn tragedy and a desperate American mother named Sophia collided in a secret baby swap. Raised as the daughter of Sati and Dursun Ozmen in Ankara, she says she only discovered in 2017 that she was adopted, and that her life may have started as someone else’s scandal. The man at the center of that alleged scandal: Donald Trump.
Ozmen insists she does not seek fame or fortune, only truth and a conversation. She describes Trump as a good father and believes he will not reject her if a DNA test confirms her claim. Her first lawsuit was dismissed for lack of evidence, but she is appealing in Turkey and petitioning courts in the United States. Between legal hurdles, political sensitivities, and the passage of time, her fight has become less about headlines and more about identity, dignity, and the right to know who you really are.
