On last night's 20/20 show they had a story about Dominique Moceanu who had a biological sister she never knew. Jennifer was born with no legs and Dominque's father forced her mother to give it up for adoption. Her adoptive parents were wonderful people and never treated her differently than their three sons. They did not know she was Dominque's sister until they saw her in the Olympics. By that time their daughter was already showing great talent in volleyball and gymnastics and went on to be a very good gymnast.
Both Domique and her sister agree that nature is what gave them the talent for gymnastics and it wasn't chance at all that they both excelled in the same sport. They both said they believe storngly in the nature vs nurture idea. They were both raised in stark different environements and are strinkingly alike today.
I have special interest in Dominique because my easy child was a gymnast and Dominque got a coaching job at the gym easy child went to so we got to see her all the time and follow her life including her marriage and birth of her two daughters that she takes to the gym all the time.
