In this moving and deeply personal interview, Linda Carroll Trotter shares the incredible journey of discovering her true identity as Eftychia, a child adopted from Greece during the 1950s. Raised in Houston, Texas, and later residing in Franklin, Tennessee, Linda always knew she was adopted—but it wasn’t until seven years ago that she uncovered the hidden truth behind her origins.

Through heartfelt narration, she recounts the emotional path to reconnecting with her roots, the rediscovery of her Greek name, and the powerful reunion with her biological heritage. Her story touches on identity, family, displacement, and the enduring ties to one’s homeland.

This video is part of the Hellenic American Project’s ongoing efforts to document and preserve the stories of the Greek diaspora in the United States.
