Seperated at Birth - interesting story
From MS/NBC/AP comes this story of twins who were actually seperated at birth and
who found each other at age 15:
Twins separated at birth reunite after 15 years
Biological mom claims doctors stole 1 of the Ecuadorean girls after delivery
QUITO, Ecuador - A chance meeting has reunited identical twin sisters who were separated at birth nearly 15 years ago — and touched off a legal dispute over how two doctors adopted one of the girls.
Petita Penaherrera says she did not know she had twins until she and her daughter Andrea came face-to-face with Marielisa Romo four months ago in the southern Ecuadorean town of Milagros — meaning “miracles” in English.
Andrea and Marielisa shared the same dark eyes, the same hair, the same ... everything.
Marielisa was accompanied by Roberto Romo and Isabel Garcia, the doctor couple who had delivered the twin babies — and then raised one.
Investigations began and, in June, Penaherrera and her husband Augusto Freire filed a suit against the doctors saying they never mentioned Andrea’s twin.
“We never found out about the existence of that girl,” Freire said Thursday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “After seeing a girl in the restaurant who was exactly like mine I almost fainted.”
Wow... Bit of a surprise to say the least.
