The twin girls Kiara and Keyara Wecker were born in St. Louis in June 2000 to Tranda and Aaron Wecker. But around the time of the birth of the twins, the parents split. The twins were then given up for adoption to a California couple, Richard and Vickie Allen of San Bernardino. The Allens had paid $6000 to an Internet placement service called A Caring Heart.
