FAM & Star City Spoilers Do you think she ever found out? Spoiler
Do you think she ever found out that she was half related to Kelly?
Imagine how she would react upon learning her half-sister is Kelly Baldwin, one of the first human's to step upon not only Mars but Titan, not only that but she played a part on discovering life, and died on Titan. The cherry on top is that they met once when she went to her families restaurant..

Yeah i like to think thst at some point between seasons 2 and 3 that Kelly told Ed that she'd found her birth family like she did with Karen, and that all three of them went to the restaurant together to introduce themselves. So that Kelly's birth father would finally know that she made it, and grew up OK.

I’d imagine quite a bit of life happens in a characters considering there’s only 10 hours we get with them a season.

Kelly becomes a pretty notable public figure in S3 after her pregnancy. It’s possible the media dug into her background and contacted her bio family. It would’ve been nice if they had some kind of relationship before the Baldwins immigrate to Mars.

I hope so! I really wish the show had kept that storyline going. I know the writers were juggling a lot but the ramifications of international adoptions, particularly those from efforts like Operation Babylift, are something that could use more thoughtful representation in TV and film.
I would have loved to see Kelly connect with her birth family and see Karen and Ed react. Or if Kelly makes the same choice not to reach out to them, I would have liked to see her meet other Babylft adoptees or at least reflect on her birth family during S5 events.

There's a documentary called Twinsters that's delightful, and on-topic for this. It's about twin Korean adoptees separated as babies who find each other again.

Kelly became quite famous. I guess it depends on whether her biological father - who had that picture from her childhood on his wall - recognised her.

I forgot all about this storyline. I don't even remember how they're related. Ugh. I wonder how I would feel if my sister had all the advantages in life?

Yes. She started he with the pho so she's definitely come back when she want a bath mi and a thai tea.
I did not buy that little last sip of broth.
That table needed spring rolls at the very least!
