Originally named Aleksander Litau, Folker Heinecke was a boy who had both blond hair and blue eyes, SS men thought that he looked like the ideal Aryan child. So, the SS men shipped him to Germany to enroll him in the Lebensborn program, so that he would be Germanized and raised how they wanted. Himmler personally oversaw that Folker was adopted by a wealthy Nazi named Adalbert Heinecke. Folker was able to recall seeing Himmler visit his "father" to have drinks. Although his "father" was an unreformed Nazi, he loved Folker dearly until his dying day. Folker wished to discover more about his origins, and his curiosity led him to his Crimean origins. His quest was even turned into a BBC documentary in 2009.

Ingrid Von Oelhafen was taken from her parents after an examination by SS officials when she was only 9 months old. She was taken from her home in Yugoslavia in 1942 and placed into the Lebensborn program in Germany. Because Ingrid was still a baby when she was moved, there was no need to "Germanize" her before putting her up for adoption. She was adopted by a German family, renamed, and mostly ignorant of her origins. However, Ingrid felt little connection with her family as she was growing up. When Ingrid was 58 years old she began looking for her origins and family history.  To her surprise, she discovered that her birth name was Erika Matko, and that she was abducted into the Lebensborn program. She also learned that her biological family lived in today's Slovenia. She discovered that the authorities had given her birth parents a replacement baby in her place that they one day took to raise in Germany. Erika (Ingrid) eventually wrote a book about her story and quest to find her origins called Hitler's Forgotten Children: My Life Inside the Lebensborn.
