Ever since she was little, Hannah Raleigh wanted an older brother and sister.
And deep down, Raleigh says she felt like she always had one.
But it wasn’t until she did a DNA test that she learned that these suspicions were true.
During an appearance at ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday, Raleigh met his long-lost sister, Limia Ravart, for the first time in person after an origin test confirmed the two were in fact related.
“All the thoughts went through my head at once and I kind of panicked, but I finally sent her a message that night and surprisingly enough, 20 minutes later she answered,” Raleigh said, recalling moments later. she regained her test results.
Both from China, the two adopted sisters would find homes in different cities, Raleigh in Chicago and Ravart in Montreal.
“The first sentence was like ‘Hello, we’re obviously like biological sisters,’ and I said to myself, ‘Oh, wait a minute,'” Rawart said.
Ravar had even forgotten about the DNA test she did a few years ago, which found no close matches.
“I was shocked, really shocked. I couldn’t sleep all night after the email,” she said.
Since then, the two sisters have forged a friendship through video chats and discovered a number of things in common.
Raleigh plans to visit Ravart in Montreal next month, and the two plan to get matching tattoos.
