Mom Had to Place 2 of Triplet Girls for Adoption – Years Later Sisters Meet Their Carbon Copy in Mall

• Kathleen was worried when she learned that she was expecting triplets in 1991.
• She gave birth to three girls, Rikki, Kendall, and Julianne.
• One of the three girls was separated from the other two, and the trio met again when they were around ten years old.

Kathleen got pregnant in 1991 at 35. She was seven months along when she discovered that she was carrying triplets. At the time, Kathleen, who is deaf, was working for the United States Postal Service.

Kathleen was also married to her husband Lee, who worked as a long-haul truck driver and had two grown children from his previous marriage. The 58-year-old had also undergone a vasectomy before meeting Kathleen.

Due to the medical procedure Lee had undergone, the couple agreed to use a sperm donor. Kathleen confessed that she persuaded her husband to let them have a child, and he reluctantly agreed.

The two used Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) to have their baby. IUI is a medical procedure that involves the use of fertility medication, and with the process, there is always a possibility of multiples. It is due to this possibility that it wasn’t a surprise that Kathleen was expecting triplets.

Kathleen said she and her husband were worried when they learned that they were expecting triplets. Her daughter Rikki said that Kathleen and Lee weren’t financially prepared to raise triplets.

Rikki also said that Julianne and Kendall didn’t experience a biological pull toward Kathleen. Tina was glad this didn’t happen because she was afraid her daughters would scream, Mom, and run towards their biological mom.

Lee was also getting older and wouldn’t have the energy to raise three kids. So, Kathleen and Lee made the decision to give up two of their girls for adoption. Rikki revealed that her mom received a sign that she felt indicated that Kendall and Julianne were to be raised together.

Rikki recalled that her mother told her, during the initial ultrasound confirming she was carrying triplets, Kendall and Rikki were breeched, but Julianne’s head was down. All the doctors told Kathleen that there was no way they could change the two babies’ positions.

However, in another ultrasound, Kathleen was surprised when she found out that Kendall had somehow turned and her head was down, just like Julianne’s. It was at that point that Kathleen made a choice. She said Kendall and Julianne were meant to be together and chose to give them up for adoption.

After their birth, Kathleen went home with Rikki and gave up Julianne and Kendall to their adoptive parents, Ken Scavo and Tina Scavo. Ken and Tina were high school sweethearts who had struggled with infertility for six years with no success. Two of their adoption attempts also failed.

Years later, Kathleen looked back and said she knew in her heart that two of her triplets belonged with Ken and Tina. She recalled holding each of them and thinking that she might be making a mistake by giving them up, but now she was very thankful that she did.

Still, she admitted that the whole experience was so far out of the realm of anything she had...
