This story is kind of odd since it is not everyday that identical twins who were adopted by a loving family at birth would reunite 36 years later.
Emily Bushnell and Molly Sinert were born in South Korea in 1985. The two sisters were sent to foster home as infants where Emily was adopted by Sandy Schwartz Klein and her husband Christopher Bushnell.
Molly was adopted by Merill and Marla Sinert as their only child. Emily lived with three older brothers near Philadelphia Pennsylvania while Emily lived with her parents in Winter Park Florida near Orlando.
The twins wanted to learn about their Korean roots when they were in their 30s. they took a 23andMe DNA test.
They were shocked to learn that they were identical twins when they compared photos and birthdays.
The twins decided to meet at the Hyatt Centric hotel in Fort Lauderdale Florida on March 29 which was their 36th birthday which was a wonderful reunion that they wanted it to be a private reunion which they earned.

It's a shame that the twins weren't adopted together; but I'm glad that they were finally reunited.

That is one part of the story that bothered me that they were not adopted together since they would have happier.

I agree that these kinds of stories are odd since as far I know there are not many twins who are separated at birth.

I agree with you since as far I as know, I never heard of identical twins being separated at birth and adopted by two different families.

At the reunion, they were happy to see other again. They wanted their reunion to be in private though.
