my granny and her younger sister met after 52 years (1953-2005) and also met with her mother after 50 yrs (1953-2003) because granny's maternal family shifted to India from Bangladesh for political and communal turmoil.However, i was present at the time when they met after such long separation and burst into tears of happiness.Really it was tremendously heart touching moment!!
These two ladies were lovely. It totally lifted my spirit to hear this.
These ladies look so happy! It looks like they never left each other. Its a beautiful story!
We are so happy for Helen and Jenny!
What sweet ladies!
Wonderful story. I'm a fraternal twin to a brother and we were born in 1956 in Vancouver, Canada. It was only 2 weeks before we were born that our Mom learned she was pregnant with twins. Medicine wasn't in those days what it it is today but my Mom was happy to have twins as did her two other sisters who also had twins. And to carry on the tradition, my daughter had twins, a boy and girl. Sadly my twin died in 2001, with his ashes spread over a lake in the Canadian Rockie Mountains.

My mother found out only 4 weeks before we were born that she was having twins because the GP in the small town where she was in northern Ontario couldn't figure out why she was so large and sent her for an x-ray. An x-ray? My sister who worked as a sonography in Ottawa for 25 years still wonders why the doctors didn't hear 2 heart beats. I'm sorry about the loss of your brother. My 3 siblings are all still alive and healthy. I was 8 lb. and my brother was 8 lb 1 ounce and we were born vaginally a day past our due date. My mother was a smoker as well so she could pull anything off, I guess.
Thank you. It's wonderful to hear that Genes Reunited helped you too!
Very touching. I'm a fraternal twin, and sadly my brother died at birth. But I still feel his spirit in me. He and I are the same person. Watching this was very emotional and inspirational at the same time. But I am happy for these long-lost twins. They had their second chance, I look forward to having mine one day...

My deepest sympathy and my most sincere condolences for your loss. I am an identical twin and my brother died when i was 14. The spirit never lives and he lives through you just like mine lives through me. I wish you all the best.

Lovely story that warmed my heart...I love happy endings and I'm so happy you found each other..What a blessing :)
You two are absolutely charming. I love how you have embraced one another. You both have great attitudes.
I am adopted, at the age of a few days. My parents, adoptive parents, never kept it a secret and explained it to me from my earliest abilities to understand the concept. By three, when they adopted a girl as well, I knew all about it. I think they absolutely did the right thing in being open about it to me and my sister. I have never really felt anything missing in my life. Now, at nearly 50, I still don't. I think knowing, from the start, put my mind at ease. It's the best approach any adoptive parents can and should take.

Agreed! I have two first cousins once removed who were adopted. It's never been a secret that their parents had to travel halfway around the world to get them, which of course lets them know how special they are. I also have a few second cousins who were adopted. In the case of one of them, after learning about his birth parents, he confirmed that he and his other half-sibling who were adopted out got the best deals of the bunch.

Secrets are definitely the wrong way to go.
I am so happy for them !
Oh, they're so sweet! I'm so glad they found each other! Wow, lots of secrets to uncover! They're so happy! I hope they're doing well! 😊🙏💫
Oh, I LOVE this! They get to enjoy each other for the rest of their lives. A wonderful gift. God bless them.
Loved this story! So glad these sisters found each other!
Great story, they are so sweet.

How amazing to have a father who comes home everyday asking “Where’s my love?” for his daughter.

Brilliant story, i hope you have many years to look forward to together!
I'm so happy that they were reunited. I genuinely believe that twins should never be separated, how cruel!! At least their mother was sorry and apologetic about it.
My sister died 6 years ago. I miss her so much. These sisters are so blessed. Enjoy your wonderful lives together!!

Great story.
OMG! Bless you both
As an identical twin, I am so happy for you both for getting the chance to learn about the twin thing. It's real and it's strong.
Thank you for sharing..so sweet💖
A lovely story! I’m so happy you’ve found each other. It makes up for a lot, doesn’t it?
I have a fraternal twin and she is my best friend. I’m sorry you didn’t know each other since birth.
That was special, thanks for sharing this with us.
I read they're book Helen had a really sad childhood. Her mother and stepfather had so much control over her even as an adult.
Helen & Jenny...I'm so thrilled that your story has this wonderful 'ending'....Bless you both...Love from the U.S.
Inspiring. Gives me incentive to keep searching. Much love to you both.
Not just a full sister, but a twin!!! That’s awesome. ❤️
What a lovely story , I am so glad you both found each other .
Two lovely ladies. Glad they found each other.
Thank you for sharing this. I know how it feels, an adopted child will always want to know who she really is, where she came from.
Finding you're a year older than you thought must suck😂😂😂😂
So glad you 2 found each other
Deep story! Beautiful outcome! 💕
All of these Genes Reunited stories are brilliant. If it wasn't for GR i would never have found my siblings so these stories are heart wrenching but wonderful.

Roy Glease yeah I agree. Kind of like the thin scab is removed to allow a true healing. The word healing in Greek means to be made whole.
I love them. Their relationship is close.
You are such sweet ladies! God bless. Enjoy!
Am sooooo happy for both of you that you have been reunited after such a long time separated. I am a a twin also and it is hard to explain to those who are not, how special the twin thing is - unfortunately my beloved twin sister passed 18 years ago now:(. Hope you have many more years to enjoy each other now that you have found each other at long last!:). Blessings from Australia:) xxx
What a lovely story.
So wonderful their twins ❤️ Best wishes 😍
What an amazing story, so glad you found each other!! Was always wishing I was adopted as I had a violent father as well!
Wow what a story..secrets and lies..same in my family..I was put in an orphanage+Adopted.Happy they have each other.
It was horrible that they were separated and lied to. I am so glad that they have found one another. God bless them both!
Wow this is a great story. I can relate to years believing I was born in June. It wasn't until I was 19 that I learnt I was 18. I found this out when I applied for my birth certificate. My adopted parents told so many lies to people. They messed around with our birth dates to fit in with their lies to people that we were their biological children. Yes my adopted brother went through the same difficulty when he applied for his birth certificate. They were abusive people. We were their meal tickets, slaves & things to parade in front of people. Behind closed doors it was horrific. They were sick people & wondered why we wanted nothing to do with them as we progressed into adults. The lies are the worse scars.
How wonderful!
I found out I was adopted at 12. and my much older sister was the one who bore me! we were never close remained as siblings and she kind did the same to her other kids but for some dame reason got them back! to this day I only know one mum! and that's all I need! my mum passed away when I was a young teen! and pretty much was alone! but I survived and had the luck of my older siblings lending a hand till I got older and started a life of my own. my sister does not like to be bothered even after trying to be family but one can only get the door closed so many times. I don't hate her I feel bad for her because I would be a great friend/brother but oh well! such is life! glad it worked out for the both of you!
You two look so. Much alike that I’m not surprised you are full sisters. I’m glad you found each other!
Lovely story lovely twins!
What a pair! Awesome!❤️
What lovely ladies these two are.
Lovely!
How wonderful that they found each other!
Why didn't their mother tell the daughter she met that she was a twin?

Perhaps, because she had kept the secret for so long, she was scared.
This is a happy story.
The mother could have told her daughter that she was a twin.......that would have been very helpful
Great story
Love this store.
How nice is this good luck for the future
Soo lovely
So glad you found each other. ❤️
Awesome
OMG!!! This made me cry.
Lovely 💕
I am pleased for them...
Any chance of this story to be made into a movie?
What cruelty,. Another thing, children should be told at a very early age that they have been adopted, in a style that’s childish, in fairytale fashion, graduating into a more acceptable truth... instead of waiting till the child goes through life thinking they are his birth parents and then lower the boom. Their trauma is far greater.
It's a Sagittarius thing too! God bless both of you!!!!
My goodness....no words
Lovely
The part I'd be pissed about... being 15 months older!🤣
Blessed be.
Irony. My twin sister and I are Sagitarius and she was revealing to her doctors she was 63 before I reminded her that since we were identical I refused to be 63 until our next birthday in December. Glad you found each other. I can't imagine not knowing about your best friend.
happy you found eachother
Church and the state have a lot to answer for ?how and ever you two delight girls have found each other and thats BRILLIANT T.G great ending .❤
She looks just like her bio father 💙
Congratulations
I think it is criminal to separate twins at anytime. They spend their lives knowing that someone is missing.
Thank you for your share ! Could I upload your video and translate it in french ? I want to share it to my audience because we haven't a lot of videos like that in France. And I do personal development for adopted people :)
I read the book
unbelievable
last year my grandmom and her sisters put their DNA on a website like this and found out they had an older sister who is 20 years older then them they never knew about. they were raised with a different father for their whole lives now in their 70s, (i say them bc they were twins but the Guy had passed away) pretty cool how things like this happen! but she only recently has asked about the family she does not seem very open to the idea that her father was not her father. but my grandmom did digging and their mother, My grandmoms dad and his first wife all went to the same highschool so its very possible they knew each other. when i was younger i heard my mom and my other grand mom talking and i think my grand mom gave a boy up for adoption so i hope i can put my DNA up one day and possibly find him if hes looking for our family, i would be his niece.
I am a twin who was taken from the hospital in Bethesda, maryland in 1946, by Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School. my twin sister, Linda Clara snd I (Laura Carol) were placed in an orphanage and adopted to separate families. my sister lives in Florida but we have been unable to connect, perhaps becsuse she cannot believe it. her name is Linda C. Fohl

What a twist of fate, a twist that only those responsible for it...the lies, the coverups...could and should be accountable. What cruelty,

I found my Sister on genes reunited
Music gets too loud making hearing the talking impossible to hear
I was somewhat confused by this - were they both adopted or only one of them? Who was the dad?🧐

The way I understand it : their biological mother kept Helen, and their biological father got Jenny.
Why is she David Walliams
Wait a minute why did they give away 1 twin?
Why were they separated? Confused?

It was during the war. The family could only afford one child. It was a horrible time. It seems that the woman that was adopted out had a better life.
I wanted to know more about Dad
Haha. Lol.
After all that bullshit gone through to top it off with the star signs is perfect 👍
