January 11, 2017 brought two twin sister together on Good Morning America. They were separated at birth in China, then adopted by two American families that lived hundreds of miles apart. One of the twins named Audrey had a heart condition the family that adopted her started researching her life history. They found a picture and it was Audrey and another girl that looked just like her. The adopted family reached out to Facebook and founded the other twin named Gracie ,that also has a heart condition. At age 10 finding out that you had a twin sister out in the world. Audrey told her adopted family that all she wanted for Christmas was to meet her twin sister. Being able to Facetime and talk to each other over the phone both of the family’s agreed to bring them to Good Morning America to meet face to face for the first time since birth.
Questions:
How would you feel if you were told that you have a twin sister in another part of the world?
How do you think the parents feel about their daughter having another sibling living many miles apart?
Do you think the girls will someday would like to move together?
Answer:
At first I would be shocked and nervous wondering if this is really happening. I would also be excited to meet my sister that I your really never met before. I would kinda wonder why I was separated from my sister at birth.
As a parent, I would feel shocked and happy at the same time, for my daughter. But knowing that a miracle had happened to bring them together, is so amazing.
I would think that when they get older, they would want to go to the same college or move to the same city to be together.

Good job overall! I do think you could have replied a few more times.
If I had a twin that lived hundreds of miles away from me I would be really surprised and also super excited to meet her. I also would be kind of sad to because we could have had the chance to grow up together and be best friends but we lost that because we were separated. As a parent I would feel really excited for my daughter to finally meet someone who always knows what shes going through with the heart disorder, but also shocked and confused at how they got separated in the first place. I think maybe they would want to live together eventually when they are older or at least closer to each other, but not yet since they just met and still have their own families.
It would hit me hard at first, but I would eventually be super excited and want to meet them ASAP. I think they are super excited for their own daughter and I would want her to meet her. I dont think they will move in with each other because they will own pursue their own lives. I think they will certainly keep in touch with each other.
I would have a lot of questions starting with if that was really true and then i would wonder about why we were separated at birth. I don't think i would believe that right away but later after accepting the fact that i have a twin I would be shocked but also very excited I guess. As a parent I would feel very weird to know that my adopted daughter had a twin I din't know about. I would try to contact the adopting company and through them the original parents of my daughter that had put her up for adoption. I am pretty sure they will try to stay in contact and they might even end up moving into the same city or the same area whatever and become something like friends. They might even treat each other as siblings in the future even though they didn't grow up in the same family.
I would be in disbelief. To think that you have your adopted family is the only thing you know. All of a sudden everything changes. I think the parents feel weird knowing that they were part of the reason why their daughter split up with her twin, but they are probably glad that she is able to communicate with part of her original family. I don't think that they will want to because they barely know each other. I think they will still remain close.
I would react to probably the same and normal because truly anything could happen, but if you already have siblings and u already think you have enough i wouldn't discard her or him, but it would be one of those things like oh i have another one not really surprising to me but to somebody else might be different. The parents might be happy or kind of mad scared depending on the situation of how they have met like maybe the other family is kinda rude and doesn't care about stuff and as she grew up with them she could of picked up on their actions and started acting that way herself; which could honestly split the family apart that might be worried because they might restrict them from seeing each other depending the actions the sibling take towards each other, and she would probably want to live with her sibling depending on the certain attitude towards each other. But in all you have to be kinda happy that they found each other.
First, I would be super happy to meet here and know that she is alive and doing well. That's one thing with adopting is that sometimes you don't know if there is another sibling involved. I do not think they would move in together because they are becoming old enough they will be on their own, but I think they will always be in touch with each other.
Yes, i would also be very happy to meet my twin sister that I haven't met before. I agree I think it would be hard to adopt a kid and not know if they had other siblings. I think it would be really hard to see the two twin getting to meet each other for the first time.
I would have had a whole bunch of emotions going on. Just knowing that I had a twin living so close yet so far would have made me so happy. Once I found out I would have been very shocked. If I was there parents I would have been very happy to know that my child had someone out there that was the same blood as them. Even though a family doesn't have to be blood doesn't mean that someone doesn't want to have someone who isn't blood. If I was the girls I would want to eventually move closer to my twin.
I would feel kind of shocked, scared and excited all at the same time. It would be so weird to find out their is a person that is exactly like you out in the world that you never even knew about. Who knows how the parents feel about their daughter having a twin. They might be scared that this could separate their child from them or they could be really happy that their daughter has a biological sibling to talk to about anything and everything. Something like this just sends a flow of mixed emotions. I think maybe when they get older they will want to know each other more. They might want to catch up on their whole lives and tell all their stories to each other or figure out about their biological parents. For now I think it is all too new and that they just want to get to know each other and not move close together quite yet.
