This adoption is definitely non-standard
I think it qualifies for "you can't make this stuff up"....
This story appeared on the U.K.'s Daily Mail website:
"The secret sister of Olympic star Dominique Moceanu, given up for adoption because she had no legs, grew up as a gymnast unaware of who her famous sibling was. Brought up by an adoptive family in Oblong, Illinois, Jen Bricker won state titles, competed in the Junior Olympics and her idol when she was growing up was the sister she never knew she had. Now a professional aerial gymnast living in Studio City, California, Ms Bricker, 24, has enjoyed a close relationship with her sister since meeting her for the first time over four years ago."
