Who are the Kilshaw twins?

Kiara and Keyara Wecker were just six months old when they were handed over for £8,200 to Judith and Alan Kilshaw back in 2001.

The Sun exclusively revealed the story after the girls were taken back to Buckley, North Wales, by the couple.

But despite a seemingly happy ending with their new solicitor parents - the tots were plunged into a grim fight for their custody.

It was sensationally revealed that their birth mum Tranda Wecker had previously sold them to another set of parents back in the US.

Their adoptive mum told the paper how they have grown into "fine young women, each with their own dreams and ambitions".

She said: "At times it has been tough, sure it has, but they are our babies and we cannot be more proud of them."

Their adoptive dad, 72, told the Mirror: "I felt it was my duty to take them. They brought them straight from the airport to our home and we have never looked back since."

According to their adoptive parents, the girls are allowed to meet their birth mum but do not want to.
