DNA test reunites Nevada sisters after 48 years
Michele is a real estate agent who has lived in Nevada since 1994. When she took a DNA test one day, she discovered a 25-year-old family secret. She found that she had a half-brother, and he connected her to her sister Tricia.
The sisters quickly realized their children attended the same school, so they attended the graduation ceremony at the same time! They even had similar pictures of the stage from different angles. The sisters found out they both have the same biological father but different mothers. As it turns out, seven half-siblings were connected by their father, and the two sisters were only about five months apart.
Since the sisters met, they have been spending a lot of time together trying to make up for all the years they had lost. Despite their 48 years apart, they consider themselves best friends and even started a real estate business together.
