Adopted Sterling woman searching for her roots
STERLING – Janell Loos feels a connection to a family she has never met and a heritage she has known only through popular culture.
Loos, 40, who is of American Indian descent and was adopted by a Polo couple as an infant, is searching for her birth mother.
“I know my beginning, but I really would like to know my past – for myself,” Loos said. “God snapped his fingers, and I was here. But I’ve got a history, a whole heritage – a culture – I only know from books and movies.”
