When the siblings’ parents died, Aunt Lucy and an uncle named John both needed money.
They volunteered to care for the children and managed to split the assets into two.
The woman went with Uncle John, while Anna stayed with Aunt Lucy.
Uncle John took the woman to an adoption home and left the country with his wife.
Aunt Lucy knew the woman was sent to an adoption home, but she kept quiet.
When Uncle John and his wife returned for the woman, they learned she’d already been adopted.
Over the years, the story they went along with was that the woman had died – which is what Aunt Lucy and Anna knew.
Despite her sad circumstances, the woman felt fortunate that the family who chose to adopt her raised her like their own.
Her adoptive parents loved her dearly.
Through it all, Anna couldn’t believe Aunt Lucy hid information from her.
She felt betrayed and thought she was denied a sibling’s love for personal gain.
For now, the two sisters are focused on catching up with one another. The woman is delighted to be an aunt to three lovely children and is glad she now knows the great feeling of being loved by a sibling.
People on the internet didn’t believe the story at first.
When people doubted its credibility, others with similar stories stepped up to show that such things could really happen in real life.
