Photos: The Hicks babies gather
Thirty or so people showed up at small inn in Ducktown, Tennessee, on Saturday to have their cheeks swapped for DNA testing. Now in their 50s and 60s, they are so-called Hicks babies, having been given up by their birth mothers as infants and sold to new families by Dr. Thomas Hicks from his clinic in McCaysville in the ’50s and ’60s.
