‘Internet twins mother wrongly stripped of parental rights’

A MOTHER who twice offered her twin daughters for adoption over the internet was wrongly stripped of her parental rights, a court in the US has ruled.

The Missouri Supreme Court said yesterday that the toddlers' subsequent adoption by foster parents, including a British couple, should be thrown out.

A lower court judge terminated Tranda Wecker's parental rights in 2002, leading to the adoption of her twins by a couple from St Louis.
