Separated @ Birth
A True Love Story of Twin Sisters Reunited
1 of 1 copy available
It all began when design student Anaïs Bordier viewed a YouTube video and saw her own face staring back. After some research, Anaïs 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 Anaïs 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.

Twenty-five-year-old French fashion student Anas Bordier was shocked when a friend sent her a YouTube video featuring a Los Angelesbased actress who was a dead ringer for her. Anas, who was adopted as an infant from South Korea, immediately began to research the girl in the video, Samantha Futerman, and learned that Samantha was adopted from the same city in South Korea and that the two shared the exact same birth date. Fairly certain that Sam was her twin sister, Anas reached out via Facebook and started to correspond with Sam. The two found they had much in common, and when they scheduled a Skype call, it was like looking into a mirror. Already certain they were twins, Anas and Sam decided to bring their families to London for their first meeting, travel to Seoul to learn more about the adoption process, and make a documentary, Twinsters, about their incredible story. Inspiring and winning, Sam and Anas' tale is a testament to the power of sisterhood as well as the way social media can positively affect lives.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
