Does anyone know what happened to the Cain children?
I recently watched the movie "In the Best Interest of the Children," which tells the story of the Cain children, who had a mentally ill mother that lost custody of them. Initially, they were placed with a foster family that wanted to adopt them, and the children felt abandoned since their mother refused to let their uncle and aunt—who were the only family members willing to care for them—take them in. Naturally, the children grew attached to their foster family, who provided them with love and support. However, their mother became jealous and upset, leading her to file for custody again. As a result, the children were removed from their foster home and eventually adopted by their aunt and uncle. They later discovered the truth about their mother's actions, which caused significant strain, ultimately resulting in the divorce of their foster parents due to ongoing conflicts. Although the mother saw the children afterward, she remained unstable. The film is based on a true story from the 1980s and was released in 1992. I am curious if anyone has any updates on what happened to the Cain children as they grew older.

I went to the IMDb boards for the movie.
In real life they were the Cooper Kids from Newton, IA. This happened in the 80s around Newton Iowa which is in Jasper County. Samantha, the youngest girl committed suicide in highschool. Amanda, Anna, Sara, Samantha, & Justin are their real names.
Someone named reltubaras (Sara Butler backwards) posted this:
“I am one of the real ‘Cain’ kids from the movie. I am flattered that people are curious about how we are. Its been 16 years since the movie first aired and I can’t tell you how good it makes me feel to hear that people are still enjoying our story.
I hope you understand that I will not use our real names as we would like to keep our lives private but I will share some details.
‘Jessica Cain’ is 32 now. She’s been married for 13 years and has 3 children.
‘Julie Cain’ is 31 now. She’s divorced with no children and is a nurse.
‘Susan Cain’ is 29 now. She’s been married for 4 years. Has no children. She’s recently moved back to the U.S. from living overseas for 3 years.
‘Cindy Cain’ died at age 17. She would have been 25 now.
And ‘Baby Jason Cain’ is 23 now. He’s much taller than his older sisters who used to pick on him because they were bigger. He’s not married and has no children.
All in all, we are all doing very well. Unfortunately, we no longer have a relationship with ‘Peppers’ and most of us don’t comminucate with the ‘Birney’s’ who recieved custody of us. We do, however, keep in touch with our biological mother, ‘Callie Cain’.
Thank you for caring.”
