She was adopted by a couple living a rural farm who struggled to have children of their own. Yvonne, by the very young age, knew that she was adopted. In an email to Danny Weidler, she wrote:-
"Growing up in a beautiful, rural setting, riding horses and stealing strawberries from the farm next door, I never would have thought my family was a victim of racism. Like any family, mine also has its deeply held secrets, buried to protect or to avoid shame and the secret we recently discovered has changed my identity."
The Australian journalist followed up by writing:-
"I've always known I was adopted. As soon as I could ask 'where did I come from?' my mother and father carefully explained they couldn't have children of their own, so they waited and waited until finally I came along.”
As Yvonne grew up, she had the knowledge about her biological parents. When Sampson turned eighteen, she met her birth parents and found them as wonderful people.
She came to know that her mother got pregnant as a teen and the pregnancy at a very young age was the reason for her parents to give her up for adoption. She has explained about her meeting with her birth parents in the same email.
"Luckily, when I turned 18 I met my birth parents, who turned out to be wonderful people who fell pregnant as teenagers and decided they were too young to raise a child. Thankfully, my birth parents and I have maintained a loving relationship ever since.”
Well, her adoption is not only the secret that was buried, but there is also another bombshell which traumatized her and shattered her family.
“Charters Towers, 1964, a 21-year-old mother was told her infant died of pneumonia. Secretly, the baby boy was perfectly healthy and given to another family to raise. Why? Because the young woman was Aboriginal. A mother was left to grieve a baby who didn't die, while the boy grew up never knowing his mother or her heritage.”
The boy who grew up knowing nothing about his mother was Sampson’s birth father. On Boxing Day, Yvonne Sampson’s received a heartbreaking phone call from her birth dad where he said that his mom was alive who was said to be dead in car accident fifty-one years ago.

After discovering the racial identity, bio and family history, Yvonne said:-
“While I'm slowly piecing together the rich tapestry of my background, I'm so grateful secrets are being solved, wrongs are being made right and to have a connectedness to Indigenous Australia.”
Suffice to say, Yvonne's tragic family saga will make Shakespear's greatest tragedies cower in shame!
