Separated @ Birth

Description

Imagine one day opening Facebook and reading a message from a stranger that says, "I think we might be twins.don't freak out." It all began when design student AnaIs Bordier viewed a YouTube video and saw her own face staring back. After some research, AnaIs found that the Los Angeles actress Samantha Futerman was born in a South Korean port city called Busan on November 19, 1987-the exact same location and day that AnaIs was born. This propelled her to make contact-via Facebook. One message later, both girls wondered: Could they be twins? Thus begins their remarkable journey to build a relationship as sisters, continents apart. Over Facebook, Twitter, and Skype, they learned that they shared much more than a strikingly similar appearance. Eventually, they traveled to Korea together to discover more about the land of their separation. One of Facebook's Top Ten Stories of 2013, Separated @ Birth is a story that spans the world and peels back some of the complex and emotional layers of foreign adoption.
