They joked they were sisters - 30 years later they discovered it was actually true

Two adopted women from India, who grew up separately in the Netherlands, discovered after 40 years that they are biological sisters. A DNA test revealed the connection, leading to an emotional reunion.

Two adopted women from India, Mina Geltink (43) and Minal Tijssen (44), discovered after 40 years that they are biological sisters. The two were given up for adoption in India, grew up in different families in the Netherlands, and even met as teenagers and joked that they were sisters. A DNA test revealed the truth, leading to an emotional reunion in the Netherlands. Geltink, a mother of three, described the discovery as finding a missing piece of the puzzle in her life. Tijssen said that although she grew up in a loving Dutch family, she always had a deep sense of loneliness. The meeting was full of tears, hugs, laughter, and a first selfie as sisters. Since the test results, they talk and text for hours every day. Geltink told her sister: "When I see you, it's like coming home."
