Lori lives in the L.A. area now, but she was born in Minnesota in 1959. After her birth, she went to an orphanage, where she was adopted. Lori had no information about her bio family, besides the name she was given at birth.

She felt like she hit a dead end, so she contacted Jay Rosenzweig, founder of BirthParentFinder.com. He was able to use D.N.A. to find first cousins on both sides of her birth family. Rosenzweig organized a virtual meeting between Lori and her paternal half-sister, Kathleen. Then over the Christmas holiday, Lori met Kathleen in person, along with her maternal half-brother, Floyd.
