Woman tried to buy two baby girls online for £8,200

A woman and her husband made headlines around the world when they tried to buy two baby girls online. Just over 20 years ago, Judith Kilshaw, now Sillet, with then husband Alan were involved in what has become known as the first story to break the internet.

The couple, from Wrexham, paid £8,200 to adopt the babies, who they renamed Kymberley and Belinda, and flew to America to collect the girls. However, the situation wasn't as straight-forward as they had hoped, Wales Online reports.

The girls' mother Tranda Wecker, who originally named them Kiara and Keyara, was already a mother to five children. The 28-year-old put her daughters up for adoption when they were four months old.
