Less than a month after the amazing story of Ashley Thomas and Toya Weaverly was published – that after 17 years of good friendships, they discovered they are sisters, the same month the wonderful story of Cassandra Madison and Julia Tinotti, who met while working together, became best friends and also revealed that they are sisters .
The story of Thomas 031) Weaverly (29) – both from Philadelphia in the USA starting 17 years ago.
They met at a party in 2004, and although everyone always told them how similar they were, they did not think “there are things in the body.” “We have the same skin tone, our cheek structure is the same, and even our shoe size is the same, is it any wonder we were best friends for 17 years? We knew we had a lot in common, it was like a jigsaw puzzle where all the pieces connected very quickly,” Done with the two recently.
How did they find out they were sisters? Thanks to Weaverly’s engagement, and the pictures of her father Kenneth. “I was sharing these pictures on my Facebook, when suddenly a friend of my mother’s saw Kenneth, and said he was familiar with her.” At this point, quite casually, the same company is writing a comment about the fact that Wirbeli’s father seems familiar to her. “
It later turned out that Ashley’s mother and Latvia’s father were briefly married and divorced. During this time Ashley was born, but her father was no longer in the picture. “Only when we did a DNA test did we find out the truth. The results confirmed that Kenat, my father, is also Ashley’s father,” Latoya said. “My mother died 11 years ago, and she never revealed to me who my real father was,” says Ashley.
“It’s a strange feeling to discover such a thing in mid-life,” says Kenneth, the father of the two. “It will probably take me a while to get used to it, but I certainly want both of them to be a part of my life.”
The story of Cassandra Madison and Julia Tinotti, which made headlines about a week ago, also continues to make a name for itself on social media. Madison and Tinotti met at a party nine years ago, and overnight they became best friends or as they define it “like real sisters.”
What could be the chance that they, too, will discover, after nine years of friendship, that they are biological sisters? “We were always close to each other, at every event,” Tinotti recalls. “It got to the point where we felt the connection between us was the most natural in the world.”
When they found out that they both have families in the Dominican Republic – “We decided to do an ‘exercise’ and go for a DNA test. We said ‘Maybe the close and close bond between us, does it even imply that we are sisters? It was said with a laugh, we did not think for a moment .
Until the same discovery, both were adopted by different families, and raised in different homes. “At first we compared the adoption documents, but we immediately saw that there was no connection. The documents did not match and did not reveal anything to us about our past,” the two say. “It was written there that we live in different cities and that our family names are different. We didn’t really have hope at this point,” they say.
They gave up on the dream of becoming ‘blood’ sisters, and contented themselves with the good relationship they had had so far, but Tinotti nonetheless felt it was not leaving her. “After much searching and effort I came to my biological father, and he is the one who told me the amazing secret.”
Her father’s secret was that out of nine children – three boys and six girls – only she and another sister were given up for adoption, since when they were born – the family encountered great financial difficulties. “When I found out, I immediately knew what the next thing I was going to do,” Tinotti said. “Only a DNA test could help here, and that’s really what we did. Only then did we discover that we were the nurses who were given up for adoption.”
