Currently working in retail management residing in Browns Mills, New Jersey, Tanya continues to search for her family relatives in order to regain a lost relationship with them. Her adoption story is unique because her parents were exactly the same ethnicity as she is, which is why she never knew she was adopted. Tanya's biography and struggle to find her biological relatives would make a great story to be pitched to an editor of a magazine.
