Adopted Twins Separated at Birth Find Each Other Almost 50 Years Later Living 7 Blocks Away
After accessing her adoption records in 2019, an Indiana woman learned of her twin brother. However, it was only this year that she found out that her sibling had been living just seven blocks away, and had even attended the same middle and high school.
“He’s my other half I didn’t know about for 50 years,” Karen Warner told The Epoch Times. “We are slowly getting used to the twin ‘things. ”
Karen, 51, from Elwood, was born in November 1969 and was adopted when she was only 3 months old. However, it was only at the age of 8 or 9 that she became aware of her adoption. She wrote in Newsweek that it never bothered her; she always assumed that there might have been a good reason for it and was okay.
At 51, I Discovered I Had A Twin Brother Living 7 Blocks Away Karen Warner On 3/5/21 at 4:50 AM EST
I was born in Anderson, Indiana in November 1969 and I was adopted when I was three months old. I grew up in Elwood, Indiana and I had a good life, I didn t actually know that I was adopted until I was around eight or nine years old and even when I found out, it didn t bother me. I just assumed there was a good reason why I was adopted and I was OK with that.
I have been married twice, I raised three children and we have had a good life. I have sometimes wondered what caused my biological mother to feel that she needed to put me up for adoption, but at the same time, I m very thankful that it happened. I believe there is a reason for everything, and in giving me up for adoption, she certainly gave me a better life.
