Woman Discovers Co-Worker Is Her Mother

ELDRIDGE, Iowa --Michelle Wetzell, who was adopted when she was 4 days old, wanted to find her birth mother. She didn't know it at the time, but all she had to do was look at the woman sitting behind the receptionist's desk in the hair salon where she worked.

Wetzell remembers telling her co-workers in 1996 at the Davenport salon that she wanted to meet her biological mother.

In February, she learned her mother had been a co-worker at the salon, just out of earshot of what Wetzell was telling her co-workers.

"There she was, the whole time," Wetzell said.

She began her search for her biological mother late last year after a blood test showed she had a high cholesterol level, which raised questions about her family medical history.
