Well there's something a little like that in Eva Ibbotsen's "The Star of Kazan". The main girl is a foundling and she does have a strong changeling fantasy/desire to meet her real parent(s) at first. But when she meets someone who says she's her mother, things wind up much more complicated than she imagined. I won't spoil it because it's a very good book with a lot of surprises, but the people that raised her are definitely presented as her true family.

(On an unrelated note, it's set in early 20th century Vienna; I always feel so bad that all of the protagonist's peers would be just the right age a few years after the novel's end to go off and die in WWI and the flu epidemic. Especially her mother's preteen son who is sent to military school even though he'd rather be an artist. Major historical downer there, even though it's never mentioned in the novel.)
