Clarification needed on article
Published 9:37 am Thursday, September 24, 2015
In regards to the article on recovery, particularly the Rochelle Kirsch story, the fact that Kirsch had just recently changed her legal name from the surname of her mother and stepfather/adoptive father to her newly chosen legal name of Kirsch should be known.
I also believe the fact that Rochelle was estranged from her birth father from the age of 5 years and was raised by her mother and stepfather/adoptive father until Rochelle graduated high school and went on her own should be known.
Finally, in no way should the world pedophile be associated with her newly chosen name. We love you, Rochelle, and support you in your recovery as we always have.
