Help Chantel Find Her Long-Lost Biological Sister

Chantel is 41 years old and for her whole life a secret had been kept from her. As her mother lay dying in an Edmonton hospital, Chantel was at her bedside. Chantel's aunt decided to finally share the news that Chantel was not an only child as she had always believed. Chantel had a sister who had been given up for adoption soon after birth, five years before Chantel herself was born.Show more

Her aunt had hoped that breaking the silence would prompt a discussion between Chantel and her mother that would reveal the details surrounding the birth of her sister. Unfortunately, it was a conversation that never happened. Chantel's mother passed away a few days later. She had already lost her father prior to that. Chantel's heart cried at the thought that she had a 100% biological sister but she had very little information to help track her down. She immediately knew that she had to reveal the long kept secret!

Chantel could not obtain contact information through the government due to privacy issues but they told her that her sister had been born Hailey Dawn Jones in July of 1971. Chantel's mother, then Shannon Florence Jones, kept her daughter for a few months before making the agonizing decision to give her up for a better life. Shannon was 17 at the time, a single mother, and she knew she couldn't provide for her daughter. It isn't known if she kept her name, but Hailey was adopted by a 43 year old Scottish farmer and his 42 year old German wife. They were Mormons and they already had 2 boys aged 9 and 11 and 2 girls aged 8 and 5. Both played the piano. Hailey was born with blond hair and blue eyes. She is 46 years of age at this time.

Chantel decided to take her search to social media and ask for the internet's help. She created a video that outlines what she knows and pleads for information from anyone who can help her. Numerous media outlets have shared her story and the video has registered almost 250,000 views. Despite a heartwarming outpouring of support, Chantel is still waiting for that call that will reunite her with her long lost sister. Could Hailey also be looking for Chantel? It isn't known if she even knows that she was adopted.

If you have any information that could help these sisters find each other, please email Chantel at "chantelleigh4776@gmail.com". And please share this video anywhere you can.
