Faryl Amadeus is a 44-year-old filmmaker who was adopted as a child. She found her biological mother, Mary Grace Westman, in 2005. In 2021, they worked together on a short film about their reunion.
Mary Grace played herself in the movie. When Faryl first met her family, Robin was a 3-year-old boy named Robert. Robin is now transgender and recently did a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis.
Two children died and 18 people were hurt. Robin wrote a letter saying his mother Mary Grace made him angry about being transgender. Mary Grace used to work at the school but retired in 2021.
She now has a lawyer. Neither Mary Grace nor Faryl have talked publicly about what happened.
