For most of her adult life, the Elton John song, "Amoreena," has held special meaning to Amoreena "Amy" Olaya, a Philadelphia history and English teacher who was put up for adoption after she was born in 1974. "From the first time I heard that song, I felt so connected - it sounded like a message from my father," Amy, now 43, tells People. "With the lyrics about 'missing my lady,' and 'Amoreena running through the grass,' it sounded like Elton John was singing a vision of my childhood. It was like there was hope that my father would one day see me again.
