Thirty years later that wish came true. Last week Mitchell and her daughter, a former model and computer student named Kilauren Gibb, confirmed that they had found each other. Their reunion followed years of searching by both women--and put a new focus on the larger issue of access to adoption records...
...definitive answer won't be in for 10 years at least, but a report in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association should help women make informed decisions. Dr. Nananda Col and her colleagues at the New England Medical Center in Boston have developed a computer model that lets women plug in their own history and come up with a personal risk assessment.
