What happened: The two American sisters living in different states were not told by their parents that they were sisters. After realising that their DNA might be alike, Harriet Carter, aged 76, and Linda Hoffman, aged 73, conducted tests through Ancestry.com and realised they were a 100% match Details: As Linda Hoffman received an early Christmas gift by meeting her long-lost sister, she said, “I am so excited. I can imagine what she’s thinking.” Harriet was given up for adoption at her birth and so was Linda, while their parents died decades ago, taking the secret with them. Talking about how they met each other Linda said, “I had a message from Harriet saying I think we might be related and we were 100% match, but out parents never told a soul ever.”
Also: Before meeting at the Denver airport on the 7th of December, Linda and Harriet talked on the phone since the start of the Covid pandemic. As soon as they met, both the sisters said, “I can’t quit staring at you.” Linda and Harriet both shared their old photos in order to reminisce the memories and said, “I think we found each other when we were supposed to.”
