Jennifer Skiles spent most of her life searching for pieces of a family she never fully had. Born in Germany and adopted in the United States, both of her adoptive parents passed away.
Even through that heartbreak, Jennifer held onto one unanswered question: who was her father?
Years later, a DNA match finally led her to Rhode Island and to a man named Paul who had never known she existed.
In a moment that turned decades of loss into something beautiful, Paul officially adopted Jennifer, making their connection not just emotional but legal.
After a lifetime of searching, she now proudly carries her father’s name, and both say they are simply grateful for the time they have together.
