Character mistake: According to David, the triplets were "adopted by a blue-collar family, a middle-class family, and a more affluent family." There are different ways to measure social class, but there are similarities. Bobby's more affluent family (father M.D.; mother attorney) would be "upper-middle." "Eddy's father was a teacher. Middle-class" would be "lower-middle." "My family had a little store...more blue-collar" would be lower - or upper-middle depending on income. All three families were middle class. (00:20:30)

Plot summary
Directed by: Tim Wardle

Fascinating true story about male triplets separated at 6-months of age and adopted into three families who did not know they were adopting one of three identical triplets. First-person accounts are given where possible, along with photos and videos. How the boys were raised, how they discovered each other, and the disturbing truth they found out about the reason they were separated are revealed through interviews with (or recreations of) many of the real people involved. How the young men (at age 19) lived and played together, their marriages, and their successful "Triplets" restaurant in New York are examined. The impact of the separations on the adult triplets is explored.

Suggested correction: Nothing in your entry indicates a mistake. "More affluent" doesn't mean upper-middle class. And a teacher wouldn't necessarily be lower-middle class. Not to mention the fact that according to your own words, you said all three families were middle class and then ended the mistake with all three families were middle class. (Upper-middle and lower-middle are still middle class).
Robert Shafran: When I tell people my story, they don't believe it. I guess I wouldn't believe the story if someone else were telling it, but, I'm telling it and it's true, every word of it.
