A Genealogist's nightmare

I can't imagine this - to discover you have TWIN out there and no one told you. And to find her serendipitously through social media? What are the chances?

Anais Bordier was raised in France as an only child. When a friend shared a photo on Facebook of an American girl with similar looks, the adopted 25-year-old thought she might have found a long-lost relative. But then she discovered that the girl, Samantha Futerman, had also been adopted from South Korea—and shared the same birthday. “She had my laugh, my freckles,” Bordier said of their first Skype conversation. DNA tests soon confirmed the connection the pair suspected, and the twin sisters were recently reunited. “We’ve resumed our life together,” Futerman said, “with no fear of ever being separated again.”

I found this in The Week Magazine's October 31st, 2014 edition.
