A brother and sister who were separated into different Chicago foster homes as children in 1948 have met for the first time, thanks to the detective work of a friendly 7-year-old neighbor Betty Billadeau, of St Louis, Missouri, and Clifford Boyson, of Davenport, Iowa, were introduced after 65 years apart yesterday. The pair were put into separate foster homes at age five and three respectively and spent decades trying to find each other to no avail. |
 But with the help of Mr Boyson’s tech-savvy neighbour, Eddie Hanzelin, 7 (above) and his enterprising plan to track Ms Billadeau using his mother’s Facebook account they are now a family again. ‘Nobody would help me until I came and met little Eddie,’ Mr Boyson told ABC News. ‘One thing he said is that he has someone to send a Christmas card to now,’ Ms Billadeau said of her brother. |
