Michelle Wetzell, who was adopted when she was 4-days old, had always wanted to find her birth mother.
She then found out that her birth mother was actually the receptionist at the same salon!
Wetzell, who was adopted when she was 4 days old, wanted to somehow learn her mother’s name and address and mail her a coupon for a free manicure. She wanted to see her mother and learn a little about her, without the threat of awkwardness or rejection.
That was 10 years ago. The memory gives Wetzell chills because of what she learned in February. She found out her mother had been a co-worker at the Davenport salon, working at the receptionist’s desk, just out of earshot of the stylists and manicurists. Her mother was someone she knew and admired.
