A DNA test has confirmed that two women that found each other online are, in fact, twin sisters who were separated at birth. Anaïs Bordier and Samantha Futerman, 26, were raised in different continents but found each other on YouTube.
Bordier was raised in France before moving to London and Futerman was raised in the U.S., in New Jersey before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
ABC reports the twins didn’t even know about each other until Bordier caught a glimpse of Futerman on YouTube and sent her a message on Facebook.
“On February 1st, 2013, I got message on Facebook from a girl in London,” Futerman explained. “It said she had seen me in YouTube video, then after looking my name up online, saw that we were both adopted, and born on the same day, in the same city. When I saw her profile, it was crazy. She looked just like me.”
They then decided to Skype and met up a few times before deciding to get a DNA test to confirm it. The test that they underwent this week turned out positive and they couldn’t be happier.
In fact, the sisters are making a documentary on their once-in-a-lifetime experience. They launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund it, which already has over $68,000 in donations.
