If they had mutual friends, why didn’t the friend or friends notice the striking similarities? They look almost identical! So happy for them, I hope they can forge an unbreakable bond and perhaps even find more siblings.
Same thing happened in my life. Did a dna test to find old pictures of my grandparents on both side I have never met. Instead found out my father of 58 years is not my father. My biological father died in 2006 8 years before I found out. He died from afib and I have afib. I have 13 half siblings on my moms side and 5 half on my fathers side. I have met my dads kids . It is a blessing 8 years down the road after 6 years of therapy but it is not a joke not funny. Parents need to be honest with their kids. This almost took me out and my mother died a year later . I have been through a lot in my life but by far the most devastating lie ever.
It's sad and I'm sorry you had to go through that and not even have closure being that your biological father died and you never had the opportunity to meet him. Then your mother passing a year after you discover the mystery that she would have taken to the grave had you not found those old pictures. I pray that they Lord help you and comfort and you find inner peace and love in Christ Jesus. As in moments like this I'd run to seek refuge in his arms where I'm free to be a little girl and express my vulnerability and I know He can satisfy the longing of my sould and heal the broken pieces of my life. I pray you too can find that in Him
I'm not religious, like the above comments, so won't be doing any preaching lol. But I hope everything goes well for you and your newly discovered family!
I'm glad the truth finally came out, it always does! I hope you have been able to heal from that trauma and I'm sorry you never got to meet your biological father, it's cool you have more siblings than you thought! When I was 12 my parents went through a divorce, my mother then told me her and my father used a sperm donor to conceive me. It shattered my whole entire vision of myself. I love my dad more than anything but I have been debating for years whether or not to purchase a DNA kit to see if maybe I could scratch the curiosity that's always itched inside of me since the day I was told the truth. Hope you are doing well Hun, sending light positivity and love your way 🌞💛
Yeah, I think a lot of people would like to know. As a parent myself, I am guessing that the the biological parents would have had to endure a lifetime of guilt and hoping/praying that 'Stephanie' was placed in a good home, with loving parents, and was in good health. TH-cam has a lot of videos of these kind of stories under the title: Long Lost Family. There are episodes from multiple seasons from this popular tv program. There are at least 3 different versions; UK, USA and Australia.
I was thinking that they both look like Amy from Amy's Baking Company. Then I noticed that these women are from Scottsdale, which is where to company is located. Very weird. Do all the women look the same down there? Is this the "Scottsdale look"?
If I had to guess, the parents were probably very young/teenagers when the older sister was born, dependent on their parents, and not ready to start a family.
@Magic World - I see that no one is going to tell you this but THERE is a difference between the words ”they’re”, “their” and “there”. “They’re” is the same thing as saying “they are” which is what you should’ve used (example: I know that THEY’RE sisters but are they sure that THEY’RE not twins?). The word you used (their) is when you’re referring to something that belongs to someone else. Like,”their faces are almost the same.”). I’m only telling you this because if you continue to move through life making this error, No one may say anything to you about it but on some level they will come to believe or treat you as if you’re uneducated.
@@lostinmyspace4910 what do you mean they can't be sisters because they don't have the same hair color??? Not everyone in the family is going to have the same hair color sometimes! I think her hair the one sister might be dyed blonde though.
@@katparks4631 Ehhh, I don't think so...cant be sisters, but they do look alike. Maybe they're just playing along. They didn't explain how they were related, or backstory.
Perhaps an Ad for the company name mentioned in the title of this video. So glad I dropped cable though, the newscasters feel so rehearsed and over the top.
I found a sibling on ancestry DNA, and I absolutely regret doing it. She's one of the worst human beings that I met. She sucked me dry for all of my money, and when I wouldn't give her any more, she posted a whole bunch of defamatory statements about me online. I got completely sucked in based off of our shared DNA and she won hundred percent took advantage of me because of how poor of a childhood she had. I didn't have the most ideal childhood either, but I didn't use it as an excuse to victimize anybody else. I'm sure it worked out for a lot of people, but it's one of my biggest regrets in life
...And where is the Story why she went to adoption?, why only 1?, and the parents, where are the parents now?, and the other 3 siblings?,,, very weird story... but definitely it’s Avery nice for these two sisters!!
Emily Morales That’s not always case I’m a genealogist and the number of families with 2-3-4 kids who have an unplanned pregnancy are more likely to give the baby up often without ever seeing them believing it would be easier . It’s rarely no different although it’s the lesser of two evils. Although now a days her mom would probably abort her . The irony of abortion existing at the same time childless couples are going all over the world to adopt is crazy. For some reason giving up a child for adoption is looked at as worse than killing that child .
I found my bio half sister through 23 and me but she wanted nothing to do with me because it meant her father was cheating on her mother. She is two years older than me.
@@vmm5163 Watch the video again It clearly states they lives miles about but NEVER met. Mutual friends told each of them that they should meet each other because of their similarities, etc. Nothing about this video is confusing
Yes, poor editing. But that's what happens when you squeeze a story to fit into such a small segment. I couldn't finish watching. They didn't do this story justice.
I was wondering how they met before they had their DNA tested. One woman said she bought it for her adopted daughter, but didn't go into detail about anything else. Infuriating ! 😩
So… what’s the REAL story? That was lousy reporting. Heartwarming family story for the holidays and you blew it. You could have added another minute and a half and told us the whole story.
If you aren't an Adoptee, don't even bother commenting. Would you tell someone to be grateful if they lost their entire family in some sort of disaster? Of course not. Then why expect them to be grateful for losing their entire identity--family resemblance, medical history, genetic makeup, and getting a falsified birth certificate-- be grateful to live your life with strangers, to live their lie for you? Separation from the one who carried us is in itself *trauma.* This is finally being recognized by some mental health professionals. If your adoptive parents treated you well and provided for you, that's good. But believe me when I tell you, that is not true of many adoptees. Educate yourself by reading The Primal Wound by Nancy Verrier PhD, and The Adoptee Survival Guide (available on Amazon). Do not put adoption and abortion in the same sentence. It's apples and oranges. Come out of the fog and ask yourself, Who am I, really?
@@sophirichmanfletcher4657 I am a birth mother. I have had contact with my son for the past 7 years. So I am no stranger to the struggles. Obviously, nothing is perfect....not even being born and raised by your birth parents. Its called life. We as human beings need to be more grateful in life and maybe we'll start to see there' s more good than we realize. I started small...."thank you Lord for this cup of coffee, this beautiful sun rise etc.," My gratefulness grew from there. Yours will too if you try. In turn you will be happier
Even their voices and style of pronunciation is identical. And let’s not talk about their mannerisms. Shocking!
They look like twins!
That's what I thought too.

Wait! They aren’t twins?!?!😱 OMG, they’re doppelgängers. This makes my heart smile.
They look like sisters and they even talk the same way!!!
I just found out I have a daughter after 38 years. Waiting on test results. I know she is mine. It is an amazing thing this DNA.
Then if you find her she’s a lucky girl
@@ferneoneil506 Sometimes it doesn't work out
How did it work out?
@@AuraOfLoveSubs Not too well seems like she was just more curious than anything. She didn't want to pursue a relationship.
@@tdexpress Aaww I’m sorry, I hope you’re doing well and that she’ll give you a chance.
Leaves you wondering about the "rest of the story."
Agree tel us more,
As a genealogist, that is my first question. What is the rest/beginning of the story???
Same thing happened in my life. Did a dna test to find old pictures of my grandparents on both side I have never met. Instead found out my father of 58 years is not my father.

Found my older brother 2 years ago and I'm 51. He is more like my father than I am.
I found my older brother a year ago, I’m 60. He is so much like me!!!

The funny thing was that my brothers name was Pete as well. We had fun at the pub.
I wish you all the best. 😁🙏
@@Pete-qo7bv wow how cool is that congratulations?!🙂💖
Now I’m searching the YT if there’s documentary about their story because the video is too short and there’s so many questions hanging!!!
I could’ve told them they were sisters
All they had to do is ask.
I’d love to know how the parents feel about all this I mean one was put up for adoption and the other wasn’t

It would have been nice to hear the story behind why they were separated.
I just found my bio family.71/2 siblings and my bio Mom!It has been an incredible journey that’s just beginning.😊
Wow! They look so alike...talk about a heart warming story and reunion..
Wow! They look alike and even sound very similar. This is amazing. Congrats to them! ❤
I'm cracking up because I think it's so awesome I love stories like this ❤️🙂

@@musa2775 Nice to see that people agree. Weird. I've never spent time there, and am a bit reluctant to now.
@@chocomanger6873 You're reluctant to spend time in Scottsdale because some women like to pretend they're Barbies? I mean, okay.

Yes.
This was in YT archives since Oct 2018! Almost all comments are recent.
Ancestry, 23 n Me have been a blessing and a heartache for so many people.
Ok, maybe I missed the part of why one was given up for adoption and the full storyline🤔
Right
You're not alone. I was curious who was older. I assume the sister who was adopted, but can we get more to the story??
If I had to guess, the parents were probably very young/teenagers when the older sister was born, dependent on their parents, and not ready to start a family.
I wish my situation was like this..I found out I have a sister and we dont even talk now. I wish we did..
what's up hang in there
This is a good time of year to give her a call. Wish her a merry Christmas and tell her you miss her.
They both seem like they have lead similar lives with similar success.
My sisters and brothers found me on Ancestry too
I know their sisters but are they sure their not twins ?
I truly believe they are identical twins!
they were born in two different states. they will both know their birthdays.
@@kristend344 , They're both adopted. That means they'll only know the birth "(Date)" they were told.

The real story is surely how the biological parents feel they were obviously still together and had 3 more children How wonderful for them.
How do you know the bio parents had more children? Weren’t they individually talking about their adoptive family?
What a wonderful story..2 beautiful ladies...thanks.
I love this story
They sure look like sisters
They sound the same
They could be identical twins! One does seem to be a few years older than the other but otherwise they do look like twins. How amazing.
wow, they're identical?
No, just sisters.
They even sound alike☺
