  They even appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show where they confronted the Kilshaws, who also wanted the girls back.
  A court in Missouri awarded custody of the twins to Aaron Wecker, their biological father who said Tranda had neglected his daughters by trying to sell them over the internet.
  However after the girls were eventually returned to the US, they were placed with a brand-new adoptive family in Missouri where they were once again given different names which have never been made public.
  In 2018 their adoptive mum, also remaining anonymous, told the Mirror the twins have grown into "fine young women with their own dreams and ambitions" who are now studying at university.

  Meanwhile, Tranda Wecker, reportedly unable to hold down a stable job, did not attempt to contact her daughters again until 2006 when she launched another failed bid for access.

  She said the twins worked hard in school, excelled in music and sports and have grown up to have distinct personalities, with Keyara more outgoing and Kiara more reserved.
