Catherine Wilson if you can’t take care of twins as if you had birthed them yourself, you shouldn’t be able to adopt them. Someone else would be better suited to parent them. No mother or father( natural or adopted) would want to separate twins. They don’t allow twins to be separated at all now in the United States and try and keep siblings together a lot of the times if possible.
I adopted twins and I had to fight to get to keep them together. Their birth mother wanted to split them up. I thank God everyday we got to keep them both.
What would she benefit by splitting them? I don't get it. After giving them for adoption, this is too much. Unforgivable. Thank God you kept them united. 😊 Bless you! You totally proved that you would be very good parents later, by giving them the most precious gift ... each-other.
@@auntbssewingquiltingandcra3442 So she wanted to keep only one of them? I see... but it wouldn't be fair for them. Can't say anything else for what would have happened but didn't... fortunately.
Here is a part of the back story of the 3 Identical Strangers story... the separation of the twins and triplets was a social experiment... so cruel and unjust.. all in the name of SCIENCE! Makes my blood run hot against those ppl who did this to them.. one of the triplets suicided after they had met...
Yeah I understand you guys think is something that needs to be changed and I agree, but is not that easy since the agencies are urged to have kids adopted they stop caring. For example of a couple wants to adopt a girl who is in perfect health and they find out she has a brother with a sickness they could possibly not want to handle that and are almost pushed back to adopt the girl and so this can cause problems in agencies and in the whole program. In other cases sometimes the parents abandon one child while not the other and end up also leaving the other somewhere else.
@@dorbynisthebest3602 Why report the worst possible scenario? Agencies do a great job. Do more research & find out how many people are not willing to adopt twins. These two women appear to be successful, healthy & beautiful. Thank you adoptive parents. Stop romanticizing twinship! There are other siblings separated. Stop criticizing. Get into action & volunteer or get a job with kids born to chronically addicted mothers. Would you adopt 7 or 8 siblings from an addict? What if the addict is your sister? I have a friend who took the first two addicted babies, but the birth mother continued to have them! It was heartbreaking for everyone. My friend had four kids of her own. She could not adopt more of her sisters children & they were separated. Such a crime to give her life to raising someone else’s children...open for your censure that she didn’t do more & the adoptee’s fantasizing about reuniting with their birth parent, the addict who won’t get help. These situations are not so easy & adoption workers & agencies, both public & private are easy targets. They do their best jobs & don’t deserve criticism from the general public or even those now adults & wishing to blame someone for being separated. How about some gratitude & maybe some therapy. Count your blessings!
This is no a simple issue. Please do more research. I would be highly impressed if you then volunteered or got a job after getting the years(!) of education & training required of adoption workers only to be blamed by people filled with contempt prior to investigation! Adoption workers, agencies & adoptive parents deserve thanks & congratulations. Many live with their children’s’ often expressed wishes to find birth patents, siblings, etc from the youngest of ages. For example, a girl age three, now many years older has begged adoptive parents who sought professional advice about how to help their very young child find birth family members. For those not adopted, we can see the extreme fantasy in this. However, there is also tremendous loss for something unknown. Some adoptees are able to launch a search with respect & gratitude for adoptive parents. In my experience, these are most successful situations regardless if a birth family member is found or not. There is much written on what one called the “primal wound.” But, if anyone goes into any such situation with blame & resentment, a healing dose of therapy is recommended first & along the way. Above all, please dispense with all blame; your opinions may change many times in your journey. If you are a bystander/observer, no blame should be coming from that way. These are just my opinions based on decades of work. I am not upset if anyone disagrees.
@@madamelbduchessofawesomene8862 their birth certificates say they are 13 months apart. but neither of them have accurate birth certificates. my mom's sisters bc has a date on it that is scratched out and another date written in. they are not identicle but have crazy likenesses. for example my aunt plays several different musical instruments. my mom played the piano and was a music major in college. both were married in June. both married their high school sweethearts and are still married to this day. all though both were born in Indiana as babies their families moved to calif and lived their until their 70s. my aunt lived in Anaheim for a time and so did my mom. just alot of crazy coincidences. they look alot alike. and have similar personalities.
I am an identical twin and my relationship with my brother is a cornerstone of my life. I cannot fathom the mentality of the adoption agency that would so cruelly separate all these siblings. Unconscionable.
I was thinking the same thing. My best friend has twins and they are “ the twins” as well. They are inseparable. That’s just cruel that they separated them.
I'm an identical twin and I honestly think being split up would have been a blessing. Being 'the twins' all my life made me feel like I was just one piece of a novelty set, worthless on my own. The only reason I'd ever consider abortion is if I found out it was a multiple birth.
I think there should be a law forbidding twins to be separated. Maybe even siblings in general but I know that'll make them harder to find a family willing to take in more than one. Overall a very sad dilemma.
Salmo Ali There is a law that siblings have to be adopted together. If that is not possible, as long as they know that the other exists and allowed to keep in contact.
@@Keviva007 I work with CASA as a court appointed advocate and I wish there was a law like that in my state. I often see families broken up because of special needs, foster parents who can't take in that many kids, etc. It is absolutely heart breaking. But I also feel that our country does not do enough to help foster families. We act like they are supposed to just take on kids out of the goodness of their heart with hardly any compensation. they do get a monthly fee but it doesn't cover their needs. Most of these kids have been thru traumas and need special care (counseling, therapy and much more) and the foster parents usually have full-time jobs and it makes it very hard on everyone. Ok, done with my rant. I just wish we valued kids above stupid crap like oil money and politics.
I just stumbled on this emotional story and just seen on a separate story that Michele passed away June 1st,2021. My deepest condolences and prayers to her family
Yes they have similar style! But it's also interesting that life left its mark differently on their bodies and faces, making them a little bit different. They also seem to have very different personalities! The lady in pants looks more serious and the lady in skirt looks more bubbly
The even crueler thing by this agency was they intentionally separated twins then lied to them and told them they didn’t have twins and actually made home visits to study them for years as part of an academic study on separated twins! I saw a documentary on it and they continue to defend it to this day even when they met some of the twins in person and didn’t apologize. So sick.
yes, they lied to the couples adopting the children and the sad thing was the documentary was saying how many of the twins/ triplet individuals became depressed and there were quite a lot of suicides. It was a study to see how environment would affect your upbringing vs genes. Disgusting immoral study.
I met my sister a year ago!! My mom had a baby at 14 and was forced to put her up for adoption :(. My aunt was shopping at Costco, and saw a woman who gave her chills, walked up and asked... it was her! She’s my greatest gift 💕💕
@@bladegriggs4090 we text everyday, and our families are headed to Hawaii next week (we are family, but I mean immediate/spouses/kids). She’s a dream - I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years now ❤️❤️ Our mother passed in 2002 so she never got to meet her. Thankfully my/our aunts have gone above and beyond 😍
Christopher Combs they were separated by the agency as past of a nature vs nurture experiment. I’m sure the adoptive parents would of adopted both of them if they new they were twins, but that agency did not tell anybody about the sets of twins on purpose.
I would totally agree with this but the fact that people would absolutely refuse to adopt them both would mean there would be so many more kids needing to be adopted :/
Ely OMG yes!!! I was just commenting the same and then looked through the comments to see if anyone else noticed that. It is really fascinating to see that they both have the very same taste in clothes, the same hairstyle, even the details like jewellery. Amazing
This actually warmed my heart! My gf was also adopted & when I we decided to find her biological family it was so stunning that she was actually friends with one of her sisters.
Faye Calder, I live in Michigan and years ago I worked for a grocery store chain as a cashier and there was a set of identical twins (women) that shopped at the store I worked at. They were identical twins who married fraternal twin brothers. The couples lived next door to each other. The ladies dressed identically all their lives. It was rare if they wore a different color blouse/top but they sometimes (even though it was rare) did. My DH & I also lived next door to a couple that the wife had an identical twin and those gals married brothers. It was neat how their children looked more like siblings than cousins! This couple that lived next door to us even shared their home with the wife's identical twin and her DH while they were building a home! They were such a wonderful couple.
Indeed! I didn't even know I had older Twin sisters until I was in my early teens. All three of us were at the same peoples house together when they were 3 and I was 6 months old. The mother wanted me, but the father wanted the girls. My mother came back for me and not them. :( I found them in my mid 30's. One sibling didn't want a relationship, the other did. Then we took a DNA test through ancestry and found out that they were not my father's kids! So we are 1/2 siblings. So it makes sense to me because we look nothing alike. They took more after their father's side. My mother had lied to my family and dad. She was preggers before they met with her first husbands children. lol ugh lies lies and more lies that I've uncovered over the years.
JP2GiannaT Something has been pulling on me to a DNA test. I was adopted by my stepdad, but I met my biological father in 2000. We don’t have a relationship.
it was an experiment by a psychologist that used identical multiple births at this adoption agency to raise multiples separately to study what would happen
It’s something unexplainable about twins!!! I am an identical twin trust me no one has to tell you, your spirit knows u are connected to a missing human.❤️❤️
@@yayalover123 my twin moved away almost a year ago. It is physically painful. Theres a constant knot in my stomach. Life goes on but it feels a little less whole.
Ya it's sad, but that would have defeated the purpose of the experiment. They wanted them, needed them to be separated. That was the only way for them to study nature vs nurture :(
@@lipsohlips97 their is no excuse for what those people did. The rights of those children and human beings supersedes any experimental study. What they did is inhumane and criminal and they deserve to be criminally charged for their actions. They fully knew what they were doing was illegal, and immoral, which is why they kept the secret buried for so long.
@@nakyer watch the film Three Identical Strangers. Multiple sets of twins born in the 60s were separated, adopted to different families and studied for at least the first 10 years of their lives. The adoptive families were told they were participants in a longitudinal study but did not know about the other siblings. People connected to the study are interviewed in the film.
@@ofrikatz426 Thank you. Good grief, that's DISGUSTING. Using kids like guinea pigs. Those people SHOULD be prosecuted. But of course, someone will reveal that the statute of limitations is up or something. Sheesh..
Not surprizing since all of their dna is identical. I guess their footwear accounts for their difference in height. I'd like to see them in bare-feet. Btw, I knew a guy quite well but not much about him. He was about to be "ordained" a priest, so celibate. No surprise there but was I shocked when I was in a restaurant & innhe walks, or so I thought, trailing for youngsters with him! Waaaaa? Yup, his twin bro! Goes to show you, you can be celibate and be totally otherwise normal; it took me a while to pull my jaw back up & go ask the guy! Very funny!
My youngest brother was adopted out when my mother left my father with 6 children. After 50 years we found him with the help of a private detective. It was the first time in 50 years we were all together. It was one of the happiest days of my life, and I thank God every day.
I am so happy for them. I imagine saying for the first time, "I am a twin", someone who looks like me. We shared our mom's womb from the moment we were conceived. A whole new identity.
Gave me chills. I’m so happy for them. I grew up with my twin-we were both adopted into the same family at birth in 1962. Through DNA testing in 2017 I found our 5 biological siblings-all alive...mom too. So I know what they are experiencing.
The same thing happened to my twin brother and Our parents died when we were 6 years of age. We were sent to different foster homes. We knew each other some growing up but not untill we were much older did we got more in touch. We are soooo much alike. Other than a boy and a girl we are identical in our personalities. We both love outdoors, music etc. Our actions are the same. Our hands move the same way. We finish each other’s sentences etc. I love him so much. We are very very close. We are in our 70s now. It was hard growing up without him. God bless you girls.
I'm so sorry you and your brother (best friend) were separated like that.😢 I can only imagine the longing for your brother. I too have an identical twin, and imaging being separated at 6yrs old, would have been devastating. BLESS YOU
Scientists who wanted to do experiments on multiples. Place them in different homes then study them throughout the years on the nature verses nurture debate. The parents were told nothing. Only would they like to participate in a child development experiment once a year that they would be paid for? These "long lost twin and triplet discoveries" has been almost as hard on adoptive parents as it has been for siblings because they feel they lost out on another child that should have been theirs :(
@@malda7582I understand and appreciate your comment. I made my comment based on my knowledge about the adoption agency. These women weren't the only set of twins separated by the named agency. There are books and documentaries that details other twins (and a locally famous set of triplets) separated by this agency as part of an experiment; adoptive parents nor birth mothers were notified of separation or experimentation. :( I don't think this is widely known, but some people are aware of this.
Perhaps, the Adoption agency had many parents wanting to adopt so... ? And maybe money came into the equation to? Regardless, it is appalling that womb siblings were separated. I hope these two, and others, can seek compensation for their loss. 🙏❤️
@@raea3588 is right. I saw a documentary about the triplets who found each other in college, I think. They all lived fairly close together, but the agency separated them in the name of science. They studied them annually. The agency and the sick "doctor" who devised the study are evil. I can't even fathom separating siblings much less multiples.
I got to meet my sister through one of the DNA testing sites. It was incredibly emotional. Not like a twin probably but we did look incredibly alike. This was amazing to watch.
As a mother of twins, this made me cry...I could not imagine them without each other. I’m sorry this happened to u. I hope u chicks can recover some of the love u missed out on.
I am too. Mine are girl/boy and were very close until they started school. They kind of grew apart as they got older. Now, as adults, they're just like regular siblings but it would have been sad if they had missed out on those first years together.
Back in the 80’s, I believe, in Toronto, I heard about this guy who went into a restaurant in Buffalo, NY and was amazed to see this friend of his waiting table. (the ‘friend’) he knew lived in NYC, as best as I can recall. He said to the waiter, ‘hey buddy, what are you doing here? The waiter did not recognize the customer. Turns out that the waiter and the customer’s friend in NYC were Twins who did not know each other. Turned out that they had a third brother and were triplets !!!! Same shaving cream, same toothpaste....etc, etc, etc. It affected me greatly as I do not know who is my father.
Most people use Crest or Colgate tooth paste and probably one brand of shaving cream is more popular than others. There is a limited number of brands that are popular.
I know exactly how this family feels. I took my mum back to Scotland for her forst trip in 51 years. I got to witness her meeting her sister and cousins.... it's truly an amazing and emotional experience.
Twins adopted from Louise Wise Adoption Agency at this time were a part of a twin study to see the difference between nurture vs nature. They were separated in order to be studied. It’s a disgusting and unethical act and it should have never happened!
That’s so wrong. You shouldn’t play with people’s lives. This should never be an experiment. People deserve to know their family members. I hope nothing like this happens again.
I was adopted at birth - no idea if I’m a twin…probably not! Anyway, to my point. It’s often disgusting how difficult it is, to find birth family information. I was born in Pennsylvania in 1969. PA denied adoptees from knowing anything..at all, until a law was passed in 2017. Adoptees are now able to get a (non certified) ‘copy’ of their original birth certificate. The people behind denying info to adoptees, are misguided, and (probably), in some cases, heartless.
Ann Schurman -Thanks! I was in hopes of finding such good news! So many times,the years are too hard to overcome,& I would've been strangely heartbroken, if that had happened to twins.
I’m sending my sample off today, I’m hoping to find my Brother who is a year older than me, that will make him 60 now and he was privately adopted at birth in Birmingham, England. I live in the UK 2. Can’t wait to see if I get a hit and finally find my big brother🙋🏽👍🏽
Aww wow good luck. I know it's not the same but I found my dad after 18years by applying for a job. The woman I was applying with happened to be my dad's sister. Crazy I found out I had 8 aunts and uncles and 23 cousins. One of my cousins was my next door neighbours boyfriend and my school friend and I had no idea. I'd used my mother's maiden name and his mum had married and didn't have the family name. Crazy how things work out I hope it works out well for you, does your brother know about you?
The comments make me think that most of the people watching this video have not seen "Three Identical Strangers." That movie so stunned the audience when I watched it that people did not get up even after the credits. It was profoundly infuriating and moving. In addition to discussing the triplets, the movie showed one set of twins. Left unsaid was how many more twins are yet to find each other. I'm very happy that these two women now have a chance to forge a relationship.
As I said in my comment above, most Americans have no idea of the amount of non-consenting human experimentation that's been happening in this country for decades. The records on the triplets and others are sealed so that incriminating evidence won't get out while the subjects are alive. mindjustice.org/timeline.htm
I highly recommend the doco "Three Identical Strangers", such an incredible, complex story. I am so happy for these sisters and hope they find great joy in each other's company.
I recently saw the movie and it’s mind boggling what the government has allowed in the name of top security research. After WWII they brought quite a few German scientists, etc. over to conduct all sorts of experiments on unsuspecting victims including children. Check out Project Paperclip and Project Monarch. Truly mind boggling what has gone on. Project Mockingbird is still very prevalent today as are others
So true. I remember a girl behind me actually ended up storming out at the credits, full of emotion and anger on behalf of all those people. It was so chilling to hear them conclude there’s likely several other sets of twins or triplets separated by Louise Wise, and I got goosebumps watching this video when she said she discovered that through the documentary.
I am a twin and I lost my brother 4 days after we were born. Every time when I'm home i always go to the back of our house just to sit next to his small grave. I wish this two all the best
I saw interviews of the separated triplets. Playing with peoples lives in the name of science is disgusting. I wonder how many other twins are unaware of this agencies recklessness
Ramsey Saiymeh we obviously need science but messing with another person’s life from the beginning when they were born?? You gotta be seriously fucked up to agree with that. Imagine not knowing a brother or sister because some fucked up agency separated them apart.
It won't take long for that unmistakable "sister thing" to kick in - especially being twins. I can't even imagine my life without my sister. She's been my best friend and worst enemy all my life! 😂👭
@@mlr4524 - I am so sorry to hear that. I only have one sister. We're 13 months apart. And I can't remember a single time when she wasn't right there with me, and we're well into our 50s now. I hope and pray that some day you and all of your sisters can put aside whatever has kept you apart this whole time, and you can enjoy each other's company before it's too late. I got to be 58 years old way too fast, and I want my sister beside me all the way to the end of my ride. Don't let life get away from you. It goes by fast. 🤗😏🙏
@@deedeesnow3780 - my sister and I have the "sister thing", and it's so cool, but the"twin thing" absolutely amazes me! My sister and I can get "vibes" from each other and we'll call and check on the other. But twins are so very special! Everything I've read and watched: absolutely fascinating! 💖💞
Oh, this brought tears to my eyes. My twin passed at a few months old, and my whole life, I've always felt like something was missing. I'm so sorry for the circumstances that separated these two, but so glad they found each other.
If all “multiple birthed” children adopted from the Louise Wise Services got together in a class action suite to unseal the Yale files and studies, un-redacted, then they would have much more power.
Shawn D it’s really messed up that the date to open the files is 2066, by that time, most of those people are going to be dead. They are never going to know they have siblings, and they still refuse to unseal the files.
This needs to be litigated and changed. Spence-Chapin who now has custody of the Louise Wise adoption records appears to be open to sharing some information about those adoptions. God bless all of you and grant you peace. spence-chapin.org/louise-wise-clients/
I cannot imagine being separated from your twin at such a young age. I am a twin who lost my twin sister through death but what a wonderful life we shared before her passing.
Im a mother of identical twin boys and watching this I had tears on my eyes. Because I see the bond between my little boys, they are only one and half year old and its unbelievable the need they have to be with each other all the time. And its sad that they lost the opportunity to grow up together, to have this bond between twins, and lost the opportunity to have a sister to share their life with during their tenager phase. I hope they can catch up all the time they lost. But Im happy that they found each other and can have a fresh start.
OMG ! I'm in tears, I have twin boys and lord knows they do everything together, I couldn't imagine.... God bless them I hope they bound a relationship
This was so powerful that no words can express, we can just imagine the unfathomable feelings they've felt. I'm so glad for them and their families cause their reunion was indeed a blissful happening. Thank you so much for sharing this!
The agency needs to be prosecuted. They separated twins in a twisted experiment and not because people wouldn’t take multiples. My dad is an identical twin and him and his twin are best friends. I can’t imagine what they would be like without each other.
Sam I Am The agency is out of business. It and a Dr Peter Neubauer use the agency to study the effects of twins and triplets who grew up in different environments. They purposely split the kids up for his personal study.
I believe everyone (doctors, interns, office staff) involved in the study is dead and the all the data is store at Yale and cannot be opened until 2066 (on purpose) when all the “test subjects” will be deceased. Fuckers got off scot free.
Twinnie I was wondering , too. I would think adoptive parents would be over the moon to get twins! Was the agency paid per adoption transaction? Did they want to spread the baby joy out over more sets of parents? What were they thinking. I hope that’s not still happening
@@JustTheTruth-Please Right! That place was absolutely crazy. Experimenting with kids... And just... Ahh! So sad. But, I'm sooo glad that siblings are finding each other more often. It's so crucial to know family!!
I believe they were using them in a twisted nature vs nurture experiment. The triplets report that people came to their house every so often to interview them. The agency was separating multiples on purpose without telling adoptive parents their children had a twin so that they could see how twins turned out when raised differently. Were their likes and dislikes the same? Were their personalities still similar? It’s really quite disgusting. They used these children as guinea pigs.
These stories are beautiful. I’m so glad they were both alive and able to reunite. I know someone personally with a similar story but their twin was deceased a few years prior.
I cried watching this I have twin toddlers they are male and female and I just couldn’t imagine them being apart..the connection twin siblings have is unimaginable ❤️
At the end when they were walking away, you can see they have the same exact walk/stride! I agree with them. They got screwed big time by that adoption agency.
We are living in End Times.. Scripture ssys that during the final days all things hidden would come into the light and be revealed..i see that happening more and more in every area.
They do! Which makes this all just a little bit sadder but so nice that they got to know each other. They still have plenty of time to "be the twins." ❤️
It is so clear that regardless of their separation as babies, each had their needs met by loving adoptive parents. Both turned out to be delightful. The path not able to be taken will never be known; just as it could have been better- so could it have been worse. I wish them years of friendship and love 💕
Ladies, Congratulations on finding each other. I am an adoptee. I found my mom 23 years ago, two weeks after a chance meeting with her, in a Payless store. I found my birth father a year ago, after 33 years of searching. I hope you find your "Happily ever after", with each other. Blessings.
Hey Dreamwalker, would you mind going into a little more detail about the "chance meeting in a Payless store" and how you figured out your connection to your mom? It sounds like an amazing, intriguing story. Thank you.
@@narniagirl1574 there's this story on TLC, where this biracial girl was looking for her mother. Long story short, neither her or her mother never really left the area and had been working with each other for a few years as nurses. ❤ that was an amazing story as well. I love story's like that.
As an adopted person, probably because of the logistics of trying to home multiple children. I was one of three, my dad told me they would have taken all of us, but we were separated immediately. It's a really nice thought though. After 50 years, I'm just now trying to find family.
The people who "know" people understand the importance of all this at a core level. I don't know these two women but in the last scene, watching them from the back as they're walking away together, side by side, there was a palpable feeling of relief that washed over me. I'm more than happy for these two women.
I felt sad that they never shared their “Twindom” in Highschool. My twins are a happening and to hang w them is like being in a cool club. At least they found each other. God bless you women.
I lost a friend of mine from an arson fire back in 1998 he was a twin. His name is Michael Minger I talk with his family every year since I aged during the holidays. He use to save me from the bullies and I believe my guardian angel had reminded me to stay observant and vigilant in the Holy Spirit. In this world we are not strangers it's a solution how God tested everyone to remember who they are really young ? We changed.
Im so sorry for your loss❤️ he is probably up in Heaven watching over you and still protecting you. This may sound silly to some people but, never forget about him, because he wont forget about you❤️ wishing you the best❤️❤️
I'm an identical twin,I can't imagine not growing up with my brother! He truly is my best friend . That would be devastating. We are very close,we've had a lot of the same friends,worked the same jobs together, joined the Marine Corps together,were in the same unit for 2.5 years. Got out after 4 years ,we shared an apartment with a high school friend, worked the same jobs. Got married, ironically, the ladies we married knew each and went to a small high school in a small town. I live a mile and a half from my twin brother. This story made me tear up, happy tears that they found each other and Angry that someone would separate twins. I thank the Lord that we've stayed close to one another 🙏.
God bless you. I am not a twin but watching the video and reading the comments, it must be sort of like talking to yourself??? Or something like that?? Because of the closeness you have, you probably even think the same way. It's marvelous. What a gift from God! Stay close to the Lord always.
omg, I'm bawling. im so glad you found each other. I'm a twin with a sister and I could not imagine my life without her. blessings and love to you both from Australia.xxx
I agree with other comments, that Twins should NEVER be Separated!!!! They are both Beautiful Sister's. God Bless them both, may they have a Happy Future together to make up for lost time.
I knew a set of identical twin teenage boys at a facility for troubled youths. They didn’t get along had to be at opposite ends of the campus couldn’t go on home pass at the same time. About seven years later they graduated from college had worked at CPS together , they returned back as staff members working together at same facility. In a matter of months one became group leader the other working as a support team member.

I wish there was a law where you couldn't separate twins, or multiple birth siblings. So cruel.
then there would be less adoptions. It's better to have a kid separated from a twin living in a loving home rather than both of them in foster care
It's complicated to keep them together, but at least, they should be informated that they have a sibling adopted in another family...
Catherine Wilson if you can’t take care of twins as if you had birthed them yourself, you shouldn’t be able to adopt them. Someone else would be better suited to parent them. No mother or father( natural or adopted) would want to separate twins. They don’t allow twins to be separated at all now in the United States and try and keep siblings together a lot of the times if possible.

As a twin myself, I couldn’t imagine not having her. Separating twins/siblings during adoption is something that needs to be changed
Here is a part of the back story of the 3 Identical Strangers story... the separation of the twins and triplets was a social experiment... so cruel and unjust.. all in the name of SCIENCE! Makes my blood run hot against those ppl who did this to them.. one of the triplets suicided after they had met...
Yeah I understand you guys think is something that needs to be changed and I agree, but is not that easy since the agencies are urged to have kids adopted they stop caring. For example of a couple wants to adopt a girl who is in perfect health and they find out she has a brother with a sickness they could possibly not want to handle that and are almost pushed back to adopt the girl and so this can cause problems in agencies and in the whole program. In other cases sometimes the parents abandon one child while not the other and end up also leaving the other somewhere else.
@@dorbynisthebest3602 Why report the worst possible scenario? Agencies do a great job. Do more research & find out how many people are not willing to adopt twins. These two women appear to be successful, healthy & beautiful. Thank you adoptive parents. Stop romanticizing twinship! There are other siblings separated. Stop criticizing. Get into action & volunteer or get a job with kids born to chronically addicted mothers. Would you adopt 7 or 8 siblings from an addict? What if the addict is your sister? I have a friend who took the first two addicted babies, but the birth mother continued to have them! It was heartbreaking for everyone. My friend had four kids of her own. She could not adopt more of her sisters children & they were separated. Such a crime to give her life to raising someone else’s children...open for your censure that she didn’t do more & the adoptee’s fantasizing about reuniting with their birth parent, the addict who won’t get help. These situations are not so easy & adoption workers & agencies, both public & private are easy targets. They do their best jobs & don’t deserve criticism from the general public or even those now adults & wishing to blame someone for being separated. How about some gratitude & maybe some therapy. Count your blessings!
This is no a simple issue. Please do more research. I would be highly impressed if you then volunteered or got a job after getting the years(!) of education & training required of adoption workers only to be blamed by people filled with contempt prior to investigation! Adoption workers, agencies & adoptive parents deserve thanks & congratulations. Many live with their children’s’ often expressed wishes to find birth patents, siblings, etc from the youngest of ages. For example, a girl age three, now many years older has begged adoptive parents who sought professional advice about how to help their very young child find birth family members. For those not adopted, we can see the extreme fantasy in this. However, there is also tremendous loss for something unknown. Some adoptees are able to launch a search with respect & gratitude for adoptive parents. In my experience, these are most successful situations regardless if a birth family member is found or not. There is much written on what one called the “primal wound.” But, if anyone goes into any such situation with blame & resentment, a healing dose of therapy is recommended first & along the way. Above all, please dispense with all blame; your opinions may change many times in your journey. If you are a bystander/observer, no blame should be coming from that way. These are just my opinions based on decades of work. I am not upset if anyone disagrees.

@@madamelbduchessofawesomene8862 their birth certificates say they are 13 months apart. but neither of them have accurate birth certificates. my mom's sisters bc has a date on it that is scratched out and another date written in. they are not identicle but have crazy likenesses. for example my aunt plays several different musical instruments. my mom played the piano and was a music major in college. both were married in June. both married their high school sweethearts and are still married to this day. all though both were born in Indiana as babies their families moved to calif and lived their until their 70s. my aunt lived in Anaheim for a time and so did my mom. just alot of crazy coincidences. they look alot alike. and have similar personalities.
Wow
To me this is sad, that they didn't have one another as sisters throughout life. Don't know what I would do without my sister, we are 2 yrs apart.
An amazing story .I'm happy for your family . I'm 72 & I have 4 younger sister's. .this is a great.
I am an identical twin and my relationship with my brother is a cornerstone of my life. I cannot fathom the mentality of the adoption agency that would so cruelly separate all these siblings. Unconscionable.
Same here. My identical twin brother is my best friend, my heart broke for her when she joking said "we would of been the twins."
John Thornton indeed this was done as an experiment in twins studies which is even worse because they didn’t know this was done to them
I was thinking the same thing. My best friend has twins and they are “ the twins” as well. They are inseparable. That’s just cruel that they separated them.
I'm an identical twin and I honestly think being split up would have been a blessing. Being 'the twins' all my life made me feel like I was just one piece of a novelty set, worthless on my own. The only reason I'd ever consider abortion is if I found out it was a multiple birth.

Actually, many meant their families before DNA and social media. Just more foot work, but it happened.

I think there should be a law forbidding twins to be separated. Maybe even siblings in general but I know that'll make them harder to find a family willing to take in more than one. Overall a very sad dilemma.
Salmo Ali There is a law that siblings have to be adopted together. If that is not possible, as long as they know that the other exists and allowed to keep in contact.
Oh, I didn't know that. That's good.
@@Keviva007 I work with CASA as a court appointed advocate and I wish there was a law like that in my state. I often see families broken up because of special needs, foster parents who can't take in that many kids, etc. It is absolutely heart breaking. But I also feel that our country does not do enough to help foster families. We act like they are supposed to just take on kids out of the goodness of their heart with hardly any compensation. they do get a monthly fee but it doesn't cover their needs. Most of these kids have been thru traumas and need special care (counseling, therapy and much more) and the foster parents usually have full-time jobs and it makes it very hard on everyone. Ok, done with my rant. I just wish we valued kids above stupid crap like oil money and politics.

What a great blessing and amazing love!! Bravo!! ❤🌷🕊
The even crueler thing by this agency was they intentionally separated twins then lied to them and told them they didn’t have twins and actually made home visits to study them for years as part of an academic study on separated twins! I saw a documentary on it and they continue to defend it to this day even when they met some of the twins in person and didn’t apologize. So sick.
I too watched some similar documentary, they split triplets for experiments, how horrible😔
whoa!!! that is extraordinarily sick. whoever did that needs to be behind bars for life.
yes, they lied to the couples adopting the children and the sad thing was the documentary was saying how many of the twins/ triplet individuals became depressed and there were quite a lot of suicides. It was a study to see how environment would affect your upbringing vs genes. Disgusting immoral study.
That's so fucked up. They're literally playing god over the fate of those innocent children.
They like to control things,
They would’ve been each other’s best friends if they weren’t separated. That has to feel weird for them
It probably finally felt normal immediately, and their whole lives felt "off"
I met my sister a year ago!! My mom had a baby at 14 and was forced to put her up for adoption :(. My aunt was shopping at Costco, and saw a woman who gave her chills, walked up and asked... it was her! She’s my greatest gift 💕💕

I think it should be against the law to separately adopt out twins. Just my own opinion.
Christopher Combs they were separated by the agency as past of a nature vs nurture experiment. I’m sure the adoptive parents would of adopted both of them if they new they were twins, but that agency did not tell anybody about the sets of twins on purpose.
I agree
I would totally agree with this but the fact that people would absolutely refuse to adopt them both would mean there would be so many more kids needing to be adopted :/
I agree 100%. It is cruel. I the Wise Agency did this as an “experiment “. It’s the kind of thing that makes me think of Nazis.
I agree
They are very similar in their style of clothing and hair style, the sound alike and walk alike.

Faye and her name is Kaye
Faye Calder, I live in Michigan and years ago I worked for a grocery store chain as a cashier and there was a set of identical twins (women) that shopped at the store I worked at. They were identical twins who married fraternal twin brothers. The couples lived next door to each other. The ladies dressed identically all their lives. It was rare if they wore a different color blouse/top but they sometimes (even though it was rare) did. My DH & I also lived next door to a couple that the wife had an identical twin and those gals married brothers. It was neat how their children looked more like siblings than cousins! This couple that lived next door to us even shared their home with the wife's identical twin and her DH while they were building a home!
They were such a wonderful couple.
Same here. Have an identical twin. Love her loads. She is my rock. Never separate twins.
How sweet!!
The essential yogi I can't imagine my ID twin boys ever being seperated!!!
When were you reunited?
Lots of skeletons coming out of a lot of closets since these DNA tests became popular. Truth is always a good thing though, I think.
Indeed! I didn't even know I had older Twin sisters until I was in my early teens. All three of us were at the same peoples house together when they were 3 and I was 6 months old. The mother wanted me, but the father wanted the girls. My mother came back for me and not them. :( I found them in my mid 30's. One sibling didn't want a relationship, the other did. Then we took a DNA test through ancestry and found out that they were not my father's kids! So we are 1/2 siblings. So it makes sense to me because we look nothing alike. They took more after their father's side. My mother had lied to my family and dad. She was preggers before they met with her first husbands children. lol ugh lies lies and more lies that I've uncovered over the years.
Duh why wouldn’t it be?
Right! Like the fact that DNA has proven that the Book of Mormon is a sham, when it claims that Native Americans are Israelites!
JP2GiannaT Something has been pulling on me to a DNA test. I was adopted by my stepdad, but I met my biological father in 2000. We don’t have a relationship.
@Asa Olsen oh goooooooooooood this obsessive letting women off the hook for everything is too much
Being a twin is SUCH a gift! Please don't separate unless there is NO other option.

it was an experiment by a psychologist that used identical multiple births at this adoption agency to raise multiples separately to study what would happen

@@nakyer watch the film Three Identical Strangers. Multiple sets of twins born in the 60s were separated, adopted to different families and studied for at least the first 10 years of their lives. The adoptive families were told they were participants in a longitudinal study but did not know about the other siblings. People connected to the study are interviewed in the film.

Do u guys have same Weener?
as a mother of twins, i notice they walk alike. thats not something you can just adopt
Not surprizing since all of their dna is identical. I guess their footwear accounts for their difference in height. I'd like to see them in bare-feet. Btw, I knew a guy quite well but not much about him. He was about to be "ordained" a priest, so celibate. No surprise there but was I shocked when I was in a restaurant & innhe walks, or so I thought, trailing for youngsters with him! Waaaaa? Yup, his twin bro!
Goes to show you, you can be celibate and be totally otherwise normal; it took me a while to pull my jaw back up & go ask the guy! Very funny!
As an observer, I noticed it right away!!! 🌸🌸
@ 7:29 walk alike.
Twins should be same height so natural to take same size steps.
My youngest brother was adopted out when my mother left my father with 6 children. After 50 years we found him with the help of a private detective. It was the first time in 50 years we were all together. It was one of the happiest days of my life, and I thank God every day.
How are y'all doing now?
I am so happy for them. I imagine saying for the first time, "I am a twin", someone who looks like me. We shared our mom's womb from the moment we were conceived. A whole new identity.
Gave me chills. I’m so happy for them. I grew up with my twin-we were both adopted into the same family at birth in 1962. Through DNA testing in 2017 I found our 5 biological siblings-all alive...mom too. So I know what they are experiencing.

Every twin I know is an irreversible soulmate. I can't imagine. They should be a package deal :(
Seriously? What is wrong with that adoption agency? Who separates babies and not tell their adoptive parents?
Scientists who wanted to do experiments on multiples. Place them in different homes then study them throughout the years on the nature verses nurture debate. The parents were told nothing. Only would they like to participate in a child development experiment once a year that they would be paid for? These "long lost twin and triplet discoveries" has been almost as hard on adoptive parents as it has been for siblings because they feel they lost out on another child that should have been theirs :(
No where in her narrative did she mention that they were separated without the knowledge of the birth mother that gave them up for adoption.
@@malda7582I understand and appreciate your comment. I made my comment based on my knowledge about the adoption agency. These women weren't the only set of twins separated by the named agency. There are books and documentaries that details other twins (and a locally famous set of triplets) separated by this agency as part of an experiment; adoptive parents nor birth mothers were notified of separation or experimentation. :(
I don't think this is widely known, but some people are aware of this.
Perhaps, the Adoption agency had many parents wanting to adopt so... ? And maybe money came into the equation to? Regardless, it is appalling that womb siblings were separated. I hope these two, and others, can seek compensation for their loss. 🙏❤️
@@raea3588 is right. I saw a documentary about the triplets who found each other in college, I think. They all lived fairly close together, but the agency separated them in the name of science. They studied them annually. The agency and the sick "doctor" who devised the study are evil. I can't even fathom separating siblings much less multiples.
I got to meet my sister through one of the DNA testing sites. It was incredibly emotional. Not like a twin probably but we did look incredibly alike. This was amazing to watch.

He said to the waiter, ‘hey buddy, what are you doing here?

Turns out that the waiter and the customer’s friend in NYC were Twins who did not know each other.
Turned out that they had a third brother and were triplets !!!!

This sounds like Three Identical Strangers. Have you watched it? It’s made by the same people who made this documentary.
Most people use Crest or Colgate tooth paste and probably one brand of shaving cream is more popular than others. There is a limited number of brands that are popular.

I know exactly how this family feels. I took my mum back to Scotland for her forst trip in 51 years. I got to witness her meeting her sister and cousins.... it's truly an amazing and emotional experience.
Twins adopted from Louise Wise Adoption Agency at this time were a part of a twin study to see the difference between nurture vs nature. They were separated in order to be studied. It’s a disgusting and unethical act and it should have never happened!
That’s so wrong. You shouldn’t play with people’s lives. This should never be an experiment. People deserve to know their family members. I hope nothing like this happens again.
I was adopted at birth - no idea if I’m a twin…probably not! Anyway, to my point. It’s often disgusting how difficult it is, to find birth family information. I was born in Pennsylvania in 1969. PA denied adoptees from knowing anything..at all, until a law was passed in 2017. Adoptees are now able to get a (non certified) ‘copy’ of their original birth certificate.
The people behind denying info to adoptees, are misguided, and (probably), in some cases, heartless.
Kind of need a follow up. Did they end up clicking and building a life together? So sad they were separated.
I looked them up.
They talk every day

The comments make me think that most of the people watching this video have not seen "Three Identical Strangers." That movie so stunned the audience when I watched it that people did not get up even after the credits. It was profoundly infuriating and moving. In addition to discussing the triplets, the movie showed one set of twins. Left unsaid was how many more twins are yet to find each other. I'm very happy that these two women now have a chance to forge a relationship.
As I said in my comment above, most Americans have no idea of the amount of non-consenting human experimentation that's been happening in this country for decades. The records on the triplets and others are sealed so that incriminating evidence won't get out while the subjects are alive. mindjustice.org/timeline.htm
I highly recommend the doco "Three Identical Strangers", such an incredible, complex story.
I am so happy for these sisters and hope they find great joy in each other's company.
I wish to see that movie
I recently saw the movie and it’s mind boggling what the government has allowed in the name of top security research. After WWII they brought quite a few German scientists, etc. over to conduct all sorts of experiments on unsuspecting victims including children. Check out Project Paperclip and Project Monarch. Truly mind boggling what has gone on. Project Mockingbird is still very prevalent today as are others
So true. I remember a girl behind me actually ended up storming out at the credits, full of emotion and anger on behalf of all those people. It was so chilling to hear them conclude there’s likely several other sets of twins or triplets separated by Louise Wise, and I got goosebumps watching this video when she said she discovered that through the documentary.

Ramsey Saiymeh we obviously need science but messing with another person’s life from the beginning when they were born?? You gotta be seriously fucked up to agree with that. Imagine not knowing a brother or sister because some fucked up agency separated them apart.
It won't take long for that unmistakable "sister thing" to kick in - especially being twins. I can't even imagine my life without my sister. She's been my best friend and worst enemy all my life! 😂👭
Sadly not the case for many of us. Neither my adoptive nor biological sisters care that I exist.
@@mlr4524 - I am so sorry to hear that. I only have one sister. We're 13 months apart. And I can't remember a single time when she wasn't right there with me, and we're well into our 50s now. I hope and pray that some day you and all of your sisters can put aside whatever has kept you apart this whole time, and you can enjoy each other's company before it's too late. I got to be 58 years old way too fast, and I want my sister beside me all the way to the end of my ride. Don't let life get away from you. It goes by fast. 🤗😏🙏
Lyn Caho Ha! My twin sis and I too!!
@@deedeesnow3780 - my sister and I have the "sister thing", and it's so cool, but the"twin thing" absolutely amazes me! My sister and I can get "vibes" from each other and we'll call and check on the other. But twins are so very special! Everything I've read and watched: absolutely fascinating! 💖💞
Oh, this brought tears to my eyes. My twin passed at a few months old, and my whole life, I've always felt like something was missing. I'm so sorry for the circumstances that separated these two, but so glad they found each other.
I can only imagine... missing ur twin now with u...
I cried! What a blessing for them to have found each other.
Wow. They walked alike.
Same taste in clothes, hair.
Billie Edwards yeah they do lol
They are very similar except for their posture
Billie Edwards yes,and they have the same hair style and the same taste in clothes. They were dressed in same style. It is truly fascinating
If all “multiple birthed” children adopted from the Louise Wise Services got together in a class action suite to unseal the Yale files and studies, un-redacted, then they would have much more power.
Shawn D it’s really messed up that the date to open the files is 2066, by that time, most of those people are going to be dead. They are never going to know they have siblings, and they still refuse to unseal the files.
@@JaslineXD that is horrific.
This needs to be litigated and changed. Spence-Chapin who now has custody of the Louise Wise adoption records appears to be open to sharing some information about those adoptions. God bless all of you and grant you peace. spence-chapin.org/louise-wise-clients/
Just think of all the people BEFORE social media was around...who never got the chance to meet their biological family members.
I pray that they win that suit.
I shared the same thought when they found out they were separated 2 days apart” that’s messed up”. They robbed them of a lot of time and memories.
I cannot imagine being separated from your twin at such a young age. I am a twin who lost my twin sister through death but what a wonderful life we shared before her passing.
As a twin, this really breaks my heart. I can’t imagine a childhood without my twin ❤️
Im a mother of identical twin boys and watching this I had tears on my eyes. Because I see the bond between my little boys, they are only one and half year old and its unbelievable the need they have to be with each other all the time. And its sad that they lost the opportunity to grow up together, to have this bond between twins, and lost the opportunity to have a sister to share their life with during their tenager phase. I hope they can catch up all the time they lost. But Im happy that they found each other and can have a fresh start.
Thamires Generoso Yes ma'am! As a twin I know firsthand how much they love each other! A very deep and special love!!! I am lucky!!!
Thamires Generoso oh and so are they!!!
Who separates multiples. This is beautiful that they finally met. Congratulations on finding each other.
I would feel hurt and cheated if I was separated from a twin. It’s like ripping them apart from themselves.
OMG ! I'm in tears, I have twin boys and lord knows they do everything together, I couldn't imagine.... God bless them I hope they bound a relationship
I’m a female me and my twin were adopted together he’s my best friend I can’t imagine, this year will be 23 we were blessed! 🙏🏽💯
🔥🔥🔥💓
🙂❤
You can see that they have that twin kind of connection and they are comfortable in each others space
At age 62 my half sister found me last year. Mind blown. Didn't know I had 4 half sisters. Same father different mother. It's been a joy to meet her.
I’m happy for you. I lost my twin last year. Now you get to have what I for 58 years. God bless.
😢
Why do they separate twins ? That’s so messed up. Every one knows twins share a special bond.
The same USELESS agency separated TRIPLETS boys for experiment reason that later found each other,one of TRIPLETS killed himself after the reunion.
Science Experiments
@@cocobutterchin6768 . Siamese twins
This was so powerful that no words can express, we can just imagine the unfathomable feelings they've felt. I'm so glad for them and their families cause their reunion was indeed a blissful happening. Thank you so much for sharing this!
The agency needs to be prosecuted. They separated twins in a twisted experiment and not because people wouldn’t take multiples. My dad is an identical twin and him and his twin are best friends. I can’t imagine what they would be like without each other.
Sam I Am The agency is out of business. It and a Dr Peter Neubauer use the agency to study the effects of twins and triplets who grew up in different environments. They purposely split the kids up for his personal study.
@@jimfritz8983 thanks for sharing, so sad they "play" with people's lives like that.
I believe everyone (doctors, interns, office staff) involved in the study is dead and the all the data is store at Yale and cannot be opened until 2066 (on purpose) when all the “test subjects” will be deceased. Fuckers got off scot free.
As a twin, I can't understand how someone would separate them. Greed? Twin relationships are special and unique, especially identical twins.
Twinnie I was wondering , too. I would think adoptive parents would be over the moon to get twins! Was the agency paid per adoption transaction? Did they want to spread the baby joy out over more sets of parents? What were they thinking. I hope that’s not still happening
If you research the Louise Wise Adoption Agency you will find a lot of information on some of the terrible things they supposedly did.
@@JustTheTruth-Please Right! That place was absolutely crazy. Experimenting with kids... And just... Ahh! So sad.
But, I'm sooo glad that siblings are finding each other more often. It's so crucial to know family!!
It may habe been an experiment just like the story o the 3 boys
I believe they were using them in a twisted nature vs nurture experiment. The triplets report that people came to their house every so often to interview them. The agency was separating multiples on purpose without telling adoptive parents their children had a twin so that they could see how twins turned out when raised differently. Were their likes and dislikes the same? Were their personalities still similar? It’s really quite disgusting. They used these children as guinea pigs.
Pretty amazing that their outfits were very similar, except for the shoes.
These stories are beautiful. I’m so glad they were both alive and able to reunite. I know someone personally with a similar story but their twin was deceased a few years prior.
I cried watching this I have twin toddlers they are male and female and I just couldn’t imagine them being apart..the connection twin siblings have is unimaginable ❤️
Wow!!,The taller of the 2 guys that was her son's looked excatley like the aunt!!
Mike M that’s what I was thinking
Mike M I had to go back and look. And your right. You can definitely tell their related.😁
I didn’t hear what anyone said (half paying attention) but I thought “why is her son on that side?” Went back and realized she’s his aunt.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!
She had heels on that made her taller.
At the end when they were walking away, you can see they have the same exact walk/stride! I agree with them. They got screwed big time by that adoption agency.
Yes. That's very true. I noticed it...WOW
As did a lot of other twins and triplets for „research“ purposes according to a documentary I watched a long time ago by that particular agency....
I agree with you, they have the same walk !
We are living in End Times.. Scripture ssys that during the final days all things hidden would come into the light and be revealed..i see that happening more and more in every area.
They do! Which makes this all just a little bit sadder but so nice that they got to know each other. They still have plenty of time to "be the twins." ❤️
It is so clear that regardless of their separation as babies, each had their needs met by loving adoptive parents. Both turned out to be delightful. The path not able to be taken will never be known; just as it could have been better- so could it have been worse. I wish them years of friendship and love 💕
I hope and pray these two stay close and never be separated again! What a heart warming story! Beautiful women!
Ladies, Congratulations on finding each other. I am an adoptee. I found my mom 23 years ago, two weeks after a chance meeting with her, in a Payless store. I found my birth father a year ago, after 33 years of searching.
I hope you find your "Happily ever after", with each other. Blessings.
Hey Dreamwalker, would you mind going into a little more detail about the "chance meeting in a Payless store" and how you figured out your connection to your mom? It sounds like an amazing, intriguing story. Thank you.
@@narniagirl1574 there's this story on TLC, where this biracial girl was looking for her mother. Long story short, neither her or her mother never really left the area and had been working with each other for a few years as nurses. ❤ that was an amazing story as well. I love story's like that.
@@OliviaBaeBy I think I saw that! Wonderful story, thanks for mentioning it. Maybe it will help someone.
:)
Dream walker
Why isn't there a law that u can't separate twins.
Just siblings in general
Tf!?
Hailey Fine pretty sure the adoption organization was doing it illegally
As an adopted person, probably because of the logistics of trying to home multiple children. I was one of three, my dad told me they would have taken all of us, but we were separated immediately.
It's a really nice thought though.
After 50 years, I'm just now trying to find family.
It was a sick experiment to test genetics during that time
The people who "know" people understand the importance of all this at a core level. I don't know these two women but in the last scene, watching them from the back as they're walking away together, side by side, there was a palpable feeling of relief that washed over me.
I'm more than happy for these two women.
I felt sad that they never shared their “Twindom” in Highschool. My twins are a happening and to hang w them is like being in a cool club. At least they found each other. God bless you women.
This was amazing. Shout out her husband for being the cool uncle immediately...Follow up?
A sad one. Michelle passed away about three years later.
I lost a friend of mine from an arson fire back in 1998 he was a twin. His name is Michael Minger I talk with his family every year since I aged during the holidays. He use to save me from the bullies and I believe my guardian angel had reminded me to stay observant and vigilant in the Holy Spirit. In this world we are not strangers it's a solution how God tested everyone to remember who they are really young ? We changed.
Your contact with Michaels family means you really care, I imagine that
means more to the family than you know. All the best, to you all.
sorry for your loss
Im so sorry for your loss❤️ he is probably up in Heaven watching over you and still protecting you. This may sound silly to some people but, never forget about him, because he wont forget about you❤️ wishing you the best❤️❤️
I'm an identical twin,I can't imagine not growing up with my brother! He truly is my best friend . That would be devastating. We are very close,we've had a lot of the same friends,worked the same jobs together, joined the Marine Corps together,were in the same unit for 2.5 years. Got out after 4 years ,we shared an apartment with a high school friend, worked the same jobs. Got married, ironically, the ladies we married knew each and went to a small high school in a small town. I live a mile and a half from my twin brother. This story made me tear up, happy tears that they found each other and Angry that someone would separate twins. I thank the Lord that we've stayed close to one another 🙏.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
God bless you. I am not a twin but watching the video and reading the comments, it must be sort of like talking to yourself??? Or something like that?? Because of the closeness you have, you probably even think the same way. It's marvelous. What a gift from God! Stay close to the Lord always.
They even walked the same way. So glad that you at least found each other.
Their face and voice remind me so much of Janice from Friends😂 especially the blonder twin
Gogsi T. Omg and here i was thinking that she looks familiar OH GOD
Lmao omg I knew she reminded me of someone
The blonder one kind of looks like her. Put a dark curly wig on her and she would be the image of Janice x
So so true!!!
Oh yeah!
Glad they connected! My mother is a twin and my siblings are twins and I get it. Thanks for sharing. Peace and Blessings to all.
omg, I'm bawling. im so glad you found each other. I'm a twin with a sister and I could not imagine my life without her. blessings and love to you both from Australia.xxx
I agree with other comments, that Twins should NEVER be Separated!!!! They are both Beautiful Sister's. God Bless them both, may they have a Happy Future together to make up for lost time.
I knew a set of identical twin teenage boys at a facility for troubled youths. They didn’t get along had to be at opposite ends of the campus couldn’t go on home pass at the same time. About seven years later they graduated from college had worked at CPS together , they returned back as staff members working together at same facility. In a matter of months one became group leader the other working as a support team member.
That’s crazy but cool
My husband fought daily with his twin growing up but now they work together every day. If one needs something the other drops everything to help out.
I agree that twins shouldn't be separated. As heartwarming as these stories are, it infuriates me that it happened.
That reunion was beautiful, I am so happy for them!
