Overview

• In 2001 Judith and then-husband Alan Kilshaw paid £8,200 to adopt six-month-old twins Kiara and Keyara Wecker but lost them weeks later when the courts annulled the adoption.
• The birth mother, Tranda Wecker, had previously sold the girls to a Californian couple before handing them to the Kilshaws during a supposed farewell visit.
• The high-profile controversy branded Judith Kilshaw Britain’s “most hated woman,” led to the loss of her home and the breakdown of her marriage.
• In 2018 she learned the girls were raised by a churchgoing family in Missouri, and in 2019 Alan Kilshaw’s final request was that she seek contact with them.
• Now 71, Judith Kilshaw tells MailOnline she has no regrets over the purchase and remains determined to find and reconnect with the twin sisters.
