Reunited After 70 Years: The Alum Creek Twins

Jean [Innis]  and her twin sister Inez were born on November 9,1929 in the coal fields of West Virginia. They were born into destitution to a woman that had already given away three of her children. They were taken to the orphanage in Charleston, WV . Jean was very sickly and not expected to live. Inez was healthy and was adopted out the back door to a wealthy Charleston couple. A few days later, another wealthy couple discovered Jean and adopted her. But  neither couple were aware that their baby girl  had a twin.   The girls would never  meet nor see  other until their 70th birthday.
