Judith Sillett, previously Kilshaw, appeared on This Morning today to discuss her ex-husband's dying wish to be reunited with the babies who were taken away from them A woman who bought two babies from a US 'baby trader' only to have them taken away when she sold them to another couple wants to find them again. Judith and Alan Kilshaw, of Buckley in Flintshire, made headlines in 2000 when their story of paying £8,200 to adopt two girls sparked a cash-for-babies outcry. The couple quickly discovered the American broker they put their trust in had scammed them and given the girls, named Kiara and Keyara Wecke, to another couple. A US High Court battle saw them sent back to America where they were eventually adopted by a different family. Judith, now 66, left Alan for a younger man in 2007 but the pair remained friends. He died of a chronic lung disease at the age of 63 late last year and she has appeared on TV to share his dying wish - a family reunited. Speaking on This Morning today, Judith said: 'Alan's dying wish was to see the girls again. 'If they want to make contact they can find me. I don't know how much of the story they know. 'They are older now, they can make up their own minds. We can sit down and have a talk and get the facts as they should be.'

She and her ex-husband Alan paid £8,200 to adopt two baby girls in the US only to have them given to another couple Asked how difficult having the babies, who they named Belinda and Kimberley, taken away, Judith said: 'It was very difficult. 'There wasn't any time to say goodbye. It was so quick and instant. It tore the family apart and caused a lot of heartache. 'There were a lot of people looking forward to them coming. They would have had everything and more.' Speaking of Alan's decision to go public with the story, she added: 'Alan's wish was for no one to fall foul of rogue agencies and get caught up what we were caught up in. 'He went to a certain paper, I was against it, but he was adamant he wanted to prevent anything like this happening again. 'The papers wrote what they wanted, even if it wasn't true. 'When Tony Blair got involved, that was it. It was like Iraq, he had to be seen to be doing something. Even if it was blundering in.' Judith was plunged into financial ruin alongside her then-partner Alan after launching a legal battle to adopt Kiara and Keyara Wecke in 2001 when they were taken from them.

For two months, the Allens raised the babies as their own, only for the twins' natural mother Tranda Wecker to suddenly get in touch to say she wanted two days to say a 'final goodbye'. Once she had the twins she passed them over to solicitor Alan and his wife. The Kilshaws, who maintained they were unaware that the twins had already been adopted, had been dealing with Internet adoption broker Tina Johnson. In 2000, Kiera and Keyara were first adopted by US couple Richard and Vickie Allen (pictured) Kiara and Keyara, who have been renamed, were eventually given a new set of church-going adoptive parents in America. The girls are now in their twenties and are said to be 'thriving' as students, studying social sciences at university. Judith married her toyboy lover Stephen Sillett, 42, who she met in a nightclub. The Kilshaws remained friends with Alan even walking his ex lover down the aisle. Despite their separation, Judith visited him in hospital every day and left Stephen in February because Alan was in need. She thought it would only be for a month or so but when she realised the severity of his illness she gave up her job as a cleaner at a local Co-op. Alan died of pulmonary fibrosis in December 2018.
