Twins Adopted To Separated Parents Married Without Knowing They Were Siblings As Adults

Two British twins married as adults without knowing they were even related. Apparently their biological mother put them up for adoption and they were each adopted to different parents and never told they were twins. Later as adults they met and found that they felt an 'inevitable attraction' to one another. A British court annulled their marriage after they learned of their true relationship. Activists are now saying that this case is an example of why children should be able to learn who their biological parents are. The details of who the twins are has been kept secret for obvious privacy reasons. The CEO of Adults Affected by Adoption says there have been previous cases of siblings being attracted to one another without realizing they were related. Regardless of how rare this situation is, it is obvious how traumatic it likely was for all those involved. All I can say is WOW!! I am soooooo glad I know who my brother is.
