She searched for her brother for years - and then received a letter from 2003

Liz from England spent decades searching for her biological brother, who was also given up for adoption. Meanwhile, her brother John was searching for her and sent her a letter in 2003, but it never reached her. The letter was discovered only 23 years later, when Liz learned that the two had lived less than half an hour apart in Lancashire. They finally met at a local hotel.

Liz from England spent decades searching for her biological brother, who was also given up for adoption. Meanwhile, her brother John was searching for her and sent her a letter in 2003, when he was 40, asking to meet her. The letter never reached Liz and was kept in an adoption file. Only more than two decades later did Liz learn of its existence, realizing the search was not one-sided. A television show team located John, and it turned out the two had lived less than half an hour apart in Lancashire. John had previously tried to find their biological mother and met her about 30 years ago, but the relationship did not develop. The siblings discovered that their mother had passed away over 20 years ago. Eventually, Liz and John met for the first time at a local hotel. John said he now feels he has a "little sister," and Liz described the reunion as the best outcome she could have hoped for.
