YES!
The headline is erroneous. According to the article, the girl, born in 1929, was given up 82 years ago.
They made contact in 2006. That was about 5 years ago. 82-5= 77.

Thank you.
What a great picture.
“The hand of God was in this ...”
The Hand of God is pretty much in everything.
Your welcome. What a beautiful story. This brought tears to my eyes. God is good. Happy new year to all.
>>>The hand of God was in this ...<<<
Especially for those people who read this story... a number that might be in the millions, but is no doubt in the hundreds of thousands. In each of those people, there will now always be a voice that reminds that that conception, even from something as horrible as rape, still means a real, live human being has been created.
In fact, any time someone mentions abortion for “rape or incest,” I now have a story in response. Not that it will matter with a hardened heart... most of the time. Still, it’s one soul at a time for the creator of the universe.
I’m 72 and they both look better and healthier than I am.A smile for them :O)
My love was adopted by two very loving people who raised her as their own. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t thank God for putting my Roxann in their arms.

Amazing! Thanks for posting.
You beat me to it, CW. Looks like someone couldn't be bothered to read the article he decided to correct.
Bump!
And math isn’t my strong suit!
LoL

Great post. Abortion is seen and promoted as some kind of eraser. It does nothing of the sort.
Actually, Fiji Hill is correct. The headline is incorrect based on the facts given in the article. They were separated for 77 years (1929 to 2006), but the baby was given up for adoption in the spring of 1929, nearly 82 years ago, based upon the date of the article (01/03/12).
Sorry, “nearly 82 years ago” should read as “nearly 83 years ago”
