Streaming on Netflix is the documentary Three Identical Strangers, the story of triplets placed in three different homes by an adoption agency purportedly because no one else wanted to adopt triplets.

One baby was given to an affluent family, another to a middle-class family and the third to a blue-collar family.

“What began as a miraculous fairy tale — three long-lost brothers stumble upon one another through sheer happenstance! — has since devolved into a dark tale of deception and inhumanity,” says the Los Angeles Times. “We’ve been called ‘subjects.’ We’re victims. There’s a big difference,” one of the brothers says in the documentary. “I don’t want to play off like we’re horribly injured people now as adults — we have families, we have children — we’re relatively normal people. But they treated us like lab rats. Nothing more. And we’re human beings.”

Some experts believe that keeping siblings together when adopted has a positive effect on the children. In fact, David’s father, who became like a surrogate father to all three boys, says he would have adopted all three. And to think he was the blue-collar worker. A friend who recently told us she was adopted as an infant also confided she accidentally discovered the name of her birth mother in the baul of her adoptive mother. But she never bothered to trace her roots because, “Wala na akong hahanapin pa sa aruga ng Tatay at Nanay ko.” She grew up successful in both her career and home life.
