Woman Denies Husband’s Claim That Cuddling With The 26-Year-Old She Placed For Adoption At Birth Is ‘Inappropriate’

Lorie and her husband, Dan, say their marriage is strained since Lorie reunited with her 26-year-old biological son, John, two years ago. Lorie was 15 when she placed John for adoption.
