Miche Zaphany Sheldon got married this year. She was led down the aisle by two fathers: her biological father and the man who raised her thinking she was his daughter. “He was my dad all my life,” the woman told. Only years later did it turn out that his wife kidnapped her from the hospital right after she was born.

She kidnapped the newborn from the hospital. For years, she raised her as her daughter
Miche was born Zephany Nurse on April 27, 1997 at Groote Schur Hospital in Cape Town. At the same time, after a late miscarriage, Lavona Solomon, who had struggled for years with problems with her uterus, was also staying there. That’s why three days later, she disguised herself as a nurse and kidnapped Miche from the crib in the maternity ward. She and her husband, Michael, raised her as their own daughter. The growing girl did not suspect that they were not her parents.
The truth came out by accident. Her biological sister went to school
Miche discovered the shocking truth by accident only in 2015. A new girl joined her school, Cassidy, who looked just like her. The similarity was so great that social workers offered them DNA tests, which they agreed to. It turned out that they are, and the couple who raised Miche for several years are not her biological parents. Lavona was arrested and shortly after received a 10-year sentence. Miche does not keep in touch with her, but in an interview with walesonline.co.uk, she admitted that she does not treat her as a criminal because she raised her after all.
Both fathers led her to the wedding. “We show mutual respect”
Miche’s first encounter with her biological family was difficult. – There was no connection. I looked, but it just wasn’t there to begin with. I was raised by Lavona and Michael all my life,” she revealed. The relationship between the two families was also not the warmest at first. Even when the woman got married in March this year and wanted both Michael and her biological father to walk her down the aisle, the latter wasn’t too happy. Nevertheless, he agreed for the sake of his daughter. – The relationship between my two families has improved. Now they get along. We’ve all grown up, realized we’re human, and finally come to terms with what happened. We show mutual respect and we are all very understanding,” Michael said.
