I am always a sucker for this kind of story! As I grew up as an adopted child, I used to wish that I had a twin sister somewhere out there in the world. It was only after I was reunited with my birth-mother in 1989 when that childhood fantasy was put to rest; I had no twin, only me!
This is such a nice story and what a happy ending, even if they did have to wait 70 years for it to happen! Here is the link to read how they were reunited after so long apart.
“The day I realized I had two mothers, I was cut in half. One mother had had me in her belly and brought me to the special nursery, while this mother I called Mommy took me home from the nursery to live. One half of myself resided here with my family, and the other half was lost, lost to a shadowy woman floating somewhere out there in the world… You see, I’m adopted.”
