'On some level, I had always known': Aerialist who was born with no legs said she was 'drawn' to Dominique Moceanu from the age of six - long before she found out they were sisters
Aerialist and acrobat Jen Bricker claims she was unknowingly 'drawn' to Dominique Moceanu from the age of six - long before she knew they were sisters - when she first saw the gymnast on television.
The 28-year-old, who was born without legs, grew up in Hardinville, Illinois, after she was separated from her older sister and given up for adoption by her birth parents and raised by Sharon and Gerald.
It was not until she was 16 that she found out that the Olympic gold medalist, now 34, was her sister. It then took her four more years to track her down, she wrote in an excerpt from her new memoir published in People magazine.

It is time for each of them to find their place in the vanguard of the kingdom, so Jesus needs to point out which one comes first. He does not pick one of the Twelve, though, to point out the greatness of His followers. Instead, He takes a child and makes a point about humility, trust, and compassion.
Which becomes the common thread for the remainder of Matthew 18. Jesus highlights the need to receive children and not cause them to stumble, then goes on to point out how His hearers should strongly remove what causes them to stumble! We then follow Jesus as He instructs the disciples about chasing down a wandered sheep, and about keeping a fellow sheep from wandering too far. That text, Matthew 18:15-20, is most often cited for cases of church discipline, yet placing it in context moves the emphasis of the passa
