Judith and Alan Kelcho bought Kiara and Kiara twins for 8,000 pounds, and flew them across the Atlantic Ocean in a “abusive” scandal to buy children, which witnessed that the husband becomes notorious
Two decades after becoming one of the “most hated” women in Britain because of her participation in the scandal of children's transatlantic, Judith Kelcho says she still dreams of seeing the twin girls she brought to the United Kingdom.
The controversial character, now 71, says she “has no remorse” about the accident that brought her to my world. Kelcho made the front pages in 2001 when she and her husband then pushed more than 8,000 pounds to adopt a six -month -old pair of twins from the United States, although the girls who have already promised another couple.
The couple caused the “cash against celebrities”, and caused severe anger after taking children from Missouri to Wales, only to enter social services after only weeks and send them directly to the United States. However, the retired detergent Judith says she will do it again.
“He was haunted for years,” she said, talking to the mail from her home in Wrexham. “But I never believed that I did anything wrong. I just wanted to give them a better life.”
The notorious accident began when Hudouth turned, unable to carry even after tours of artificial insemination treatment, to an American adoption agency out of despair. She and her former husband, who was a lawyer, paid $ 14,000 for the two girls, Kiara and Kiara, who were later called Bellanda and Kimberly.
What they did not know is that the unfortunate twins were already living with a couple of California, Richard and Viki Allen, who started their adoption.
In a terrible development in the actual international “child purchase” scandal, the mother of children's twins handed over to Kilchin during a supposed “farewell visit” from their new family in California. The move sparked a legitimate hot tension among the parents.
The couple led the girls through several American states to secure papers that would allow them to return them to the United Kingdom. But they barely left the plane before the screaming at all levels started.
Prime Minister Toni Blair described the deal as “hateful” and soon the courts move to the abolition of adoption. Within months, the children were taken from the Kilchin and returned to America.
The repercussions were intense and long, Judith and Alan lost their farm, became a puzzle with debt, and in the end their marriage collapsed. “We were just ordinary people who fell into something bigger than us,” unlike Judith, 24 years later.
She continued to marry Stephen Celit, a smaller musician than her. It is striking, at her wedding ceremony, it was not the former husband Alan who gave her away.
However, this relationship will eventually collapse after Judith took the headlines again in 2012 when she confessed to hit Stephen with Christmas decoration in a vacation row. It is now separated due to the cost of divorce procedures, but friends remain.
After Alan's death in 2019, Judith said her husband's final desire is to try to reconnect with girls. “He always saw them as if,” he did not stop their love. “
At that time since the scandal, Judith lived a quiet life, although she admits that the story has never disappeared. It was recognized while shopping by the random strangers who remember it on its front page.
In 2018, Judith has finally learned information about the two girls who had been transferred across the Atlantic Ocean, and discovered that they grew up by the Church family.
“I have never had the opportunity to explain my side to them,” she said. “If they want to speak, I will be here.”
