The Unbelievable Way 3 Men Found Out They Were Triplets Separated As Babies | Megyn Kelly TODAY

The three brothers were born to a single mother in 1961. (They were actually quadruplets; the fourth brother died at birth.) At the direction of a Jewish adoption agency and psychiatrists Viola W. Bernard and Peter B. Neubauer, the three infants were intentionally placed with families of different economic levels - one blue-collar, one middle-class, and one upper-class - who had each adopted a baby girl from the same agency two years earlier. The brothers were raised by their respective adoptive families as David Kellman, Eddy Galland, and Bobby Shafran.They discovered one another by chance in 1980 and became very close, but all three struggled with depression throughout their lives, which ultimately led to Galland's suicide in 1995

The adoption agency that they were adopted from were actually doing experiments on multiple births and separating Twins and other triplet this see the effects. They never told the birth parents that their twins or triplets would be separated or the adopted parents that their child that they adopted actually had siblings. The agency would check up on each child and compared them. Many of the children that were separated grew up to have anxiety, depression and separation anxiety. Plus study's show that people who experience trauma like this as an infant or child commit suicide at a higher rate than people that didn't receive trauma. There is a documtery on this. Which includes the triplets

Did you see the same vid, dear Caryn? These adopted boys were not told about their being adopted. One of them even tells how shocking it was for him to hear it when he was a grown-up.

I remember this story when it first broke. Two brothers were right-handed, the third was left-handed. Experts on identical births said, "Wait a minute...there must be a fourth who would also left-handed." Later we were told the 4th brother had died at birth or shortly thereafter. It was shameful that they separated those children and then forced the adoptive parents to allow them to be evaluated regularly. The story was told that the adoption agency ALWAYS separated children of multiple births (monetary greed, I'm sure). Shame on the Today show people for not posting the whole story and explaining the tragedy that befell them in 1995. The boys had problems from early on because of the horrific thing of separating them and using them as guinea pigs for years after. These men and their families need our prayers and support, not criticism.

Why would they assume there would be a fourth? Back in the day left handed children were forced to write with their right hand and were usually punished if they didn't. Maybe that's what happened to the two right handed triplets.

What an ignorant crock of crap. Being right handed or left handed has NOTHING to do with the genetics of being an identical twin. In fact, identical twin pairs where one is left-handed and the other isn’t is unusually common compared to two random people in the general population.

My ex gf was adopted as a baby. 5 yrs ago I saw a lady on a train platform in London that I knew in my heart wasn’t my ex (due to her dress sense and other things) but was an absolute doppelgänger in facial features and even down to the exact same hairstyle, I even stood close to her surreptitiously calling my exes name to see if she reacted. She didn’t. I texted my ex to see if she had been at that location that day and she said no. I so regret not talking to the lady on the train platform but how do you say to a total stranger that you think she maybe a twin of someone adopted out 50yrs earlier and not sound like a total mentalist?!!

How could you separate triplets? Sinister.....I wish these men JOY!

[@themissydeyo]

Butch Hare I agree the involvement on the scientists was very sinister, however if the biological parents were very young or wouldn't be able to take care of three children all at once, I can understand the reason they chose to adopt them out, sad as it may be

[@giuseppesarto3657]

Missy Deyo, no one takes issue with the fact the boys were given up for adoption. No one takes issue necessarily with separating the boys to give them a better chance of being adopted. But that's not what happened here. The boys were separated as an experiment. Watch the video again.

[@themissydeyo]

Giuseppe Sarto I saw that they were separated as an experiment. However the parents would still need to sign off to agree to the separation of the twins - whether or not they knew it was for an experiment is a different issue. What I responded to was 'How could you separate triplets?!' Unless the parents agreed to get pregnant through in vitro or through a process that commonly results in twins, triplets or more, knowing that it was all for science, the reality is that the hospital was most likely aware of a scientific experiment or doctors seeking twins/triplets that the parent was already planning on giving up babies born in multiples. That's why I said the comment that I did. My response was to the original comment of 'How could anyone separate triplets?' Well, as I said, it is sad but I can understand parents being in a position to make that choice. The biological parents clearly had no idea the babies were going to the hands of doctors performing a scientific experiment.

The adoption agency that they were adopted from were actually doing experiments on multiple births and separating Twins and other triplet this see the effects. They never told the birth parents that their twins or triplets would be separated or the adopted parents that their child that they adopted actually had siblings. The agency would check up on each child and compared them. Many of the children that were separated grew up to have anxiety, depression and separation anxiety. Plus study's show that people who experience trauma like this as an infant or child commit suicide at a higher rate than people that didn't receive trauma. There is a documtery on this. Which includes the triplets
