Meanwhile, two older sisters were adopted previously and still live in the Toronto area. Due to unfortunate circumstances, difficult situations, and past struggles with the law, Shayla\u2019s birth parents lost custody shortly after they were born. Shayla always knew her birth parents\u2019 full names and used Facebook to find her birth mother and followed her throughout the years. Just a few months ago, Shayla\u2019s adoptive mom noticed a girl on her birth mother\u2019s page that resembled Shayla a lot. Eventually, when Shayla was able to reach her older sister Seleena, she was also able to reach her oldest sister, Samantha. And with these connections, finally Shayla found her father, a former Vietnamese boat refugee who immigrated to Canada by himself.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Girl Finds Her Birth Family ONLINE &amp; Meets Them!
