This morning, both Lawrence and Ruthanne sat down and spoke with the Today show (below) to let them know their side of the story and that they’re “puzzled” by the recent events and just want to be honest in regards to Rachel’s identity.
The parents said of Rachel and raising the rest of their children:
“We taught our children, as we raised all 6 of them, ‘Tell the truth. Always be honest.’ So we weren’t going to lie, we told the truth. Rachel is our birth daughter.”
The Dolezals go on to talk about their relationship of their daughter and what might have caused her to do this in the rest of the interview (below):
