Local couple, girl got up the stump real young, they were from
poor families and had little support. (Plus it was the early 60's)
So, they adopted the kid out.
Fast forward almost 40 years.
That young man busted his ass, made numerous shrewd and
lucky investments, they were doing pretty well. Had several kids, including
one they gave the same name as the one adopted out. Then his now wife
got the big C. And started to dwell on the child she didn't know.
Private investigators, a bit of money, and they found the kid living in the Midwest.
Don't know if the 10's of million dollars the parents were now worth played
into the decision, but the new found family packed up and moved
to be with the birth parents. Will say it seems to be working.
