She is also a twin. Because their adoption was closed, she and her sister lack both a health history and their adoption papersâwhich becomes an issue for Julie when, at forty-eight years old, she finds herself facing several serious health issues. To launch the probe into her closed adoption, Julie first needs the support of her sister. The twins talk things over, and make a pact: Julie will approach their adoptive parents for the adoption paperwork and investigate search options, and the sisters will split the costs involved in locating their birth relatives. But their adoptive parents aren't happy that their daughters want to locate their birth parentsâand that is only the first of many obstacles Julie will come up against as she digs into her background. Julie's search for her birth relatives spans years and involves a search agency, a PI, a confidential intermediary, a judge, an adoption agency, a social worker, and a genealogist. By journey's end, what began as a simple desire for a family medical history has evolved into a complicated questâone that unearths secrets, lies, and family members that are literally right next door. 541 $d 20210720. 650 4 $a Twin sisters. 650 $a Adoptive parents. 650 $a Birthmothers. 650 1 $a Adoption. 650 $a Family secrets. 650 7 $a Twins $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20211125010847.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6041E8E04DBD11ECA59157B93EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
