Twins Adopted To Different Parents Didn’t Know About Each Other Until Now

A Divergence Of Life Paths: Elizabeth

As you know, Elizabeth grew up with her biological mother, Alice. The curvature of her spine made adoption unlikely, so her mother asked for help from friends and an aunt, who gathered together to help raise Elizabeth and support Alice. her mother told her that she was a twin and that her twin was adopted when she was 15, but she didn’t try to find anything more about her sibling while her mother was alive. Alice died in 1980, and Elizabeth discovered that all records and adoption papers had been lost. She had seen the papers at one point, so it’s unclear what happened to them when Alice died.
