Pro-life video of the day: Dominque Moceanu’s secret sister
by LauraLoo
Olympic gold medalist Dominique Moceanu discovered at 26 “the big lie” spawned by her father. She had another sister, a secret sister given up for adoption at birth.
In her new memoir, Off Balance, scheduled to be released tomorrow, Moceanu tells of receiving a letter and some photos in December 2007 from a 20-year-old woman who looked strikingly like the gymnast’s younger sister, Christina. The package came two weeks before Moceanu had her first child, Carmen.
“It was the biggest bombshell of my life,” Moceanu said in an interview with ABC’s 20/20 that aired Friday night. “I had this sister who was given up for adoption, and I never knew it.”

Very Nice
What an amazing story!
Wow, just wow. That’s crazy. The best kind of crazy, though. My mind is blown. :)
WOW!!! That is unbelieveable, just unbelievable. God bless these beautiful young women and the adoptive parents who opened their hearts and home to Christina. Every life has a purpose.
Not given up for adoption but made an adoption plan or choose adoption. Inaccurate adoption language.

if you watch the video, you learn that Dominique’s mother did not even get to hold her daughter…it was good old DAD that made her give the baby away, because she had NO LEGS….. :(
An amazing inpiring story.
