Lindsay, who was contacted by investigative genealogist Pam Slate two years ago, was apparently under the impression that she was invited to the daytime talk show to discuss her encounters with Slate, who informed her that she was adopted. “Three years ago Pam called me and said that someone from my past wanted to meet me,” Lindsay explained. “I was like, ‘There’s no one in my past that I want to meet.’” Want Exclusives First?

Lindsay admits that she assumed the mystery person from the past would be an ex-lover and she had no interest in going down that rabbit hole because she’s married. “I was married and you think of exes,” she explained. “My wife was like, ‘You should go ahead and meet them.’” Years went by and Lindsay didn’t hear from Slate again.

Lindsay confessed to the hosts that she had no idea she was adopted prior to the test. “I never knew. For 49 years, I never know that I was adopted,” Lindsay said.
