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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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 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.

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!

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This story was so great it made me cry. I've needed to cry happy tears. I am 57 and I am not close with my siblings and going thru the worst time in my life. A time where we should pull together and keep our mouths shut. My mom is dying of cancer. I need to go sit on her bed in a minute and have our nightly prayer together. I was looking at apartment tours and this story popped up and I am so happy I watched it. My mom and I were born in the same hospital in Perth Amboy NJ her in 1938 and i was born in 1963. I lived in NJ for many years vacationed at LBI every summer since being in my mothers womb. Never missed a summer until Covid 19 and now my mom is sick so will not be there again. I wish i was a friend of these 2 twin girls. I do not have any friends in NJ not even cousins. My only female friends are on Instagram. I wish all the best for these twins and happy they found one another. The dark haired twin it was not said where she lived. I hope not far. I wish them all the best. Wonderful story of perseverance. At least their mom had them to once find eachother. Blessings, Rebekah in Arlington, VA
