Twin sisters who were stolen and illegally sold on adoption market reunite after finding each other on TikTok

A pair of identical twin sisters who were split up and sold as babies have miraculously been reunited after one of them recognized the other on a TikTok video, according to the Telegraph.

The two young women, Amy and Ano, were born in Georgia in 2002 and stolen from their mother soon after they were born. The two girls were sold on an illegal child adoption market that was thought to be connected to organized crime. The twins' mother, Aza, was told that her children had died.

Amy Khvitia recognized her sister when they were 12 after she was featured on an episode of Georgia's Got Talent, per the report. And Ano Sartania became curious seven years later after a friend shared a TikTok video of Amy and noticed that the two looked strangely alike.

The pair were eventually reunited after a mutual friend connected them on Facebook, according to the Telegraph. Amy and Ano learned that they both had been sold by a Georgian child trafficking ring, which was in the business of selling babies from the 1950s to 2005.

After the girls agreed to meet at an underground station in Tbilisi, Amy reportedly told the BBC: “It was like looking in a mirror, the exact same face, exact same voice. I am her and she is me.”

“I don’t like hugs, but I hugged her,” Ano added.

The BBC reported that Amy and Ano confronted their respective adoptive families about the situation. Amy was initially upset, feeling that her whole life had been a lie. And Ano felt the same way, but she added "I just wanted the difficult conversations to be over so that we could all move on."

When the twins decided to investigate a bit more, they discovered that the date they were told they were born was not correct. Both of the girls' adoptive mothers told the same story, saying they were told there was an unwanted baby at the hospital, and that they could take them so long as they paid the doctors.

Though the adoptive families paid a lot of money for the girls, they were never told that they were twins and were not aware that the practice was illegal, per the report.

Neither family would say how much they had paid for the girls.
