LONDON (Reuters) - A couple discovered after they had married that they were twins who had been split up at birth and adopted by separate families, according to a member of Britain's House of Lords.

British peer David Alton recounted the story to parliament last month to support his argument that artificially conceived children should be told who their biological parents are.

Alton said he had heard the story of the separated twins from a High Court judge who had dealt with the case.

"This did not involve in vitro fertilization: It involved the normal birth of twins who were separated at birth and adopted by separate parents," said Alton, an independent member of the Lords. "They were never told that they were twins."

"They met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation," he said.

Actually, I feel really badly for them. Imagine finding the love of your life and then finding out he's your brother. :ohwell: That would be truly awful.

:frown: So do I.

Just imagine.... What a mess.
I don't think twins should be seperated. That's wrong.

Some family members don't look at all alike. If you saw me standing beside some of my sisters you wouldn't see the resemblance. It makes me wonder how often something like this happens? Probably not that often, but this isn't the first case of brother/sister that I have heard of.

I can't imagine finding this kind of thing out; it's disgusting and heartbreaking. Ew, how on earth do you go from being head over heels in love with someone to finding out you're...from the same womb?! This is going to make for some very awkward family gatherings, "Hi, this is my ex wife/husband...you know, my brother/sister". AGH!! At least they didn't have kids themselves...did they?!

the thing is...brother/sister is bad enough but twins...that is as close as you get... (for the most part). It is just lucky they didn't have kids because those would be some effed up babies :lol:
