The majority of adopted children are curious to learn more about their biological parents. While some succeed in tracking their moms and dads, other spend a lifetime searching, but to no avail.
Christina Housel, from Washington DC, knew she was adopted. However, this woman had a great life and didn’t think much of her biological family until she became a mother herself. She suddenly wanted to learn more and her search led her to an astonishing discovery. In fact, Housel had a brother.
It didn’t take long before she learned her brother was Lyle James Berryman. Lyle James Berryman, a young man from Arizona, was also adopted.’
The moment Lyle James Berryman and Christina Housel saw photos of one another, they knew they were siblings. They said that their physical similarities were striking.
When the siblings finally met and shared details about their lives, Berryman revealed something shocking. As it turned out, he knew his biological mother and was in touch with her. Before she passed away, she told him that besides Housel, he also had twin sisters.
Both Housel and Berryman knew they needed to look for their sisters. It wasn’t going to be easy to find them, but they were determined to stop at nothing.
Accordingly, they asked Internet users to help them with their search. They posted a plea on social media holding signs which read: “Just met after 30 years,” and “Still looking for twin girls born in Florida around May or April 1992-94. Their plea went viral with thousands of people re-sharing it online.
Luckily, the search was a huge success.
Sisters Lauren Rutherford and Ashley Bo were both adopted as babies and they had no idea they had older brother and sister. It took this family three decades to reunite, but it was all worth it.
Despite living at different parts of the country, the four siblings got together for a touching reunion. They had the time of their life and tried to make up for the lost time.
