It is said that Esther was first adopted by a family in Estonia, who she then killed after failing to seduce the father. Then, she was adopted by a family who brought her to America (even though she poses as their daughter) and is then sent to the orphanage where John and Kate find her. But, the family that brought her to America had two daughters, which the Albrights do not have. And whaat about her family in Estonia? I have a feeling this is because of directors changing so the story got messed up, but come on.
