A woman in Arizona recently experienced the reunion of a lifetime.
Lori Starr was adopted at a young age, and now at 60 years old, she met her birth siblings for the first time.
“When I was 10 years old, I would never have even thought of looking for my birth family because I was so happy with the people who raised me. They were wonderful people and gave me a wonderful childhood,” she said. “Nobody knew that my birth mother was pregnant with me,” she said. “She already had four children. She got pregnant with me, but her husband had died. Back in the ‘60s, that was a ‘no no’ to get pregnant out of wedlock, so she didn’t tell anybody she was pregnant except her best friend,”
“I was driving, and my phone went off,” Chitwood said. “It came up Lori Starr, so I answered my cell phone, and Lori said, ‘Hi, don’t be mad, but I think I’m your sister,’ and I’m like, ‘Excuse me?”With the help of a family friend, the siblings had a touching meet-up in Queen Creek.Sister Sandra Chitwood said she’s excited for Starr because she’ll now be part of “this great big crazy family.”
