"My grandparents kidnapped my aunt from her front yard in the '30s. She was 3 at the time, her biological mom was a teenager, and her biological dad was in jail and a member of a minority group, so a fight to find my aunt never happened, according to my grandma..."
"This all took place after the Lindbergh kidnapping, so my grandparents kept it quiet from anyone who wasn't family. Apparently the young woman didn't really want my aunt to begin with, but an abortion wasn't an option. Years later, my aunt met her biological mom, and they both realized that she was better off with my grandparents. My aunt has since made peace with everyone involved. She married her high school sweetheart, had five sons, a ton of grandkids, and even more great-grandkids. She turns 90 this year, and I'm pretty sure she'll outlive us all."
No, DNA isn't identical, similar yeah..
what Sinah said..
biologically, the same, emotionally, not so much
The houses were close together, and she tossed a burning dishrag from her kitchen window onto the neighbor's roof. It smouldered, sparked a flame, and that was that.
She never told them what happened. Continued to live next to them for decades. Even saw them in church.
Dirty family secret. I didn't learn about it until 20 years after the fact.
