Eight-year-old Jen Bricker was glued to the television. It was 1996 and the second-grader and her parents were in their living room, not wanting to miss a single minute of the Summer Olympics, broad\u00adcasting live from Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Her eyes widened as 14-year-old gymnast Dominique Moceanu soared, flipped and twisted through the air, becoming the youngest American athlete ever to win a gold medal. It was Dominique\u2019s appear\u00adance, however\u2014her caramel-tinted skin and big, dark eyes; her small, powerful frame\u2014that was transfixing. No one in tiny Hardinville, Illinois, had that look. No one except Jen. She felt as if she were watching herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was infatuated with her, practically obsessed,\u201d Jen recalls today. \u201cNot only did she look like me, but she had the same fiery personality and we both loved gymnastics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dominique\u2019s parents had been born in Romania, the same country Jen\u2019s birth parents had emigrated from before she was put up for adop\u00adtion at three months old. That sum\u00admer evening, Jen set her sights on following in Dominique\u2019s footsteps. The gold medalist would become her role model. Jen would do whatever it took to excel in gymnastics. A dream she was so intent on achieving that she ignored the most obvious differ\u00adence between her and her idol.<\/p>\n

Jen had been born without legs.<\/p>\n

From the moment Sharon and Gerald Bricker brought Jen home, they were determined their infant daughter could accomplish anything she set her mind to. \u201cThey didn\u2019t see me as different,\u201d Jen says. \u201cThey raised me to be strong and confident. That\u2019s how I always saw myself.\u201d Sharon and Gerald had desperately wanted a baby girl to add to their family of three boys. But a hysterectomy ended Sharon\u2019s dream of having another baby. She asked God for a miracle.<\/p>\n

Not long after, a friend who was looking to adopt told her about a baby being cared for by a foster family an hour away. The infant was as cute as a button, but her legs had never formed in the womb. The friend didn\u2019t feel able to raise a child with such challenges\u2014no doubt the same reason the baby had been put up for adoption in the first place. But the story touched Sharon. When the Brickers met the baby, all they saw was her smile. \u201cMy mom knew right then that I had to be their daughter,\u201d Jen says.<\/p>\n

At Jen\u2019s first well-baby checkup the doctor suggested she would nev\u00ader be able to sit up or crawl. She would need to be carried everywhere. Sharon and Gerald sought a second opinion. They took Jen to a specialist at Shriners Hospitals for Children in St. Louis, Missouri. \u201cMr. and Mrs. Bricker, this little girl is going to do things you never imagined possible,\u201d the doctor told them.<\/p>\n

Soon Jen was into everything, like any toddler, crawling around as fast as her arms could carry her. Her mom affectionately nicknamed her \u201cMouse.\u201d By the time Jen reached second grade, Sharon had enrolled her in beginner gymnastics classes.<\/p>\n

She excelled at the sport. Even more so after those \u201996 Olympics, when the Magnificent Seven, as the U.S. gymnastics squad was known, became the first American women gymnasts to win gold as a team. For Jen it was an Olympics she would never forget.<\/p>\n

Two years later, Jen placed fourth at the Junior Olympics in the all-around. Trophies and medals accu\u00admulated in her bedroom. She didn\u2019t think a lot about her birth parents or the circumstances that had led them to give her up. \u201cI was always meant to be a part of the Bricker family, my mom told me,\u201d Jen says. \u201cGod just chose another way to bring me to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was always enough for Jen, until just before she turned 16. A friend who had also been adopted found out the names of her birth parents. Jen couldn\u2019t help but grow curious about her own.<\/p>\n

Sharon was folding laundry one day when Jen came home from school and blurted out what was on her mind: \u201cMom, do know who my birth parents are?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon hesitated. She wasn\u2019t sup\u00adposed to know, but she did. In fact, she\u2019d kept it a secret for more than eight years, ever since that night in \u201996, when she sat beside her daugh\u00adter watching those Olympic Games. She\u2019d been as transfixed by the gym\u00adnastics competition as her young daughter\u2014though for an entirely dif\u00adferent reason.<\/p>\n

Legally, Jen\u2019s birth records should have been closed, but once the adop\u00adtion was finalized, Sharon reviewed all the paperwork she\u2019d received and noticed a document with Jen\u2019s birth parents\u2019 signatures. A clerk had mis\u00adtakenly included it. At the time, Sha\u00adron simply filed it away, knowing that one day Jen would likely ask about her birth family, and the answers would begin there.<\/p>\n

At the gymnasts\u2019 introductions, Sharon\u2019s heart skipped a beat. The TV cameras focused on a couple cheering on their daughter from the stands. Their names flashed on screen. Names that sparked a mem\u00adory of the signed document. After she tucked Jen into bed, Sharon went to check. The document con\u00adfirmed her suspicions.<\/p>\n

Jen\u2019s birth parents were Dmitry and Camelia Moceanu. Dominique Moceanu, the young gold medalist, was Jen\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Wow! This is crazy! Full-on crazy\u2026\u2019\u201d Jen says. For years she\u2019d marveled at her likeness to her idol. Now it all made sense. Jen learned that the Moceanus had moved to the United States before Dominique was born. She had a younger sister too\u2014Christina.<\/p>\n

Jen wanted to connect, but how? An uncle who worked as a private investigator located her birth father. Dmitry wasn\u2019t ready to meet her, and he was fiercely protective of his other daughters. They hadn\u2019t been told they had another sister.<\/p>\n

Finally, when Jen was 20 years old, she decided to write a letter to Domi\u00adnique directly, hoping that she would want to know.<\/p>\n

\u201cEver since I was six years old, I\u2019ve been obsessed with gymnastics and I always watched you on TV. You have been my idol my whole life. I feel that I have one chance to prove to you that I\u2019m not some crazy person.\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with a photo, she enclosed copies of her adoption papers and the document with the Moceanus\u2019 signatures. She sent the letter by registered mail, grilling the postmas\u00adter to make sure only Dominique would be able to sign for it.<\/p>\n

Two weeks passed. No response. Then a Christmas card arrived with a letter inside. D. Moceanu, <\/em>the return address read.<\/p>\n

Jen devoured every word, but one sentence jumped out: \u201cYou\u2019re going to be an auntie!\u201d Dominique was expecting a baby. \u201cAuntie\u201d\u2014with that single word, Jen was welcomed into the family.<\/p>\n

Jen, Dominique, and Christina final\u00adly met at Dominique\u2019s home in May 2008. \u201cInstantly, from when we met, everything felt effortless,\u201d Jen says. She was identical to her sisters in nearly every way\u2014all three of them even had a butterfly tattoo.<\/p>\n

The one big difference wasn\u2019t so much of a difference after all. The older sister who had once held eight-year-old Jen spellbound was just as enthralled by the sister she never knew. A girl who despite her \u201cdisability\u201d had es\u00adtablished a remarkable career of her own, performing as an acrobat and aerialist on tour with Britney Spears and on stages worldwide, from Las Vegas to Dubai.<\/p>\n

Jen\u2019s birth father died of cancer before they could meet, but Jen did meet her birth mother. \u201cShe was proud of all the great things happen\u00ading in my life…. She knew she could never have given me any of them,\u201d Jen says. \u201cShe couldn\u2019t forgive herself for giving me up. I assured her that I was fine, that my life was happy and I was healthy…. This was always part of God\u2019s plan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
