Wednesday Weirdness-Reunion 45 Years After Wife Lies to Husband About Daughter’s Death
Welcome to Wednesday Weirdness, a recurring theme where we post something truly weird and wacky in adoption or child welfare.
We have reported on several cases that involve the birthmother lying to the unmarried father and married father. Many deal with Utah and this one is no different! In this case, the husband and wife separated for a few months before birth and when they got back together, the wife told the husband that the baby died. She really had placed the girl up for adoption! She grew up in Utah.
“The 45-year-old met her extended family for the first time this week, and the heartwarming moment was captured by WIFR.
‘I can’t even put into words I’m so excited,’ Abercrombie told the station, as her overjoyed father embraced her.
‘I believed she was dead all this time,’ Lutzow added.
The woman found her father’s details through the Adoption Registry and Facebook.
After mulling it over for months, she eventually took a chance and reached out to her biological brother online to explain who she was.
‘I told him “I think I’m your sister” and he’s like “what, sister?”‘
She then made an emotional phone call.
‘I called (my father) and said “hey, I found you, you’re my daddy,”‘ Abercrombie said on Tuesday, as she met other family members.
‘I didn’t know who the hell it was,’ Lutzow added.
Abercrombie grew up in Utah with loving adoptive parents and now lives in Alabama. She actually moved to Rockford with her family in 1985 to attend her senior year of high school.”
