U7Passage1Host Theres a question thats been argued about for a long time. Which is more important, your family environment or your genes? Well, a story has come up in the news about identical twins, separated at birth. Theyve just been reunited - and guess what - there are some amazing coincidences in their life stories.Heres the story - two American girls called Tamara and Adriana were separated at birth and adopted by two different sets of parents. And this is where the coincidences begin. Both families ended up living 25 miles apart. Both girls decided to study psychology at universities that are only a mile apart from each other. Isnt that strange? And this girl, whos a friend of both of them, insists they meet. Just before they meet, Adrianas mother tells her that she has a twin sister. Can you imagine how that must feel when youre 20 years old to learn you have a twin? And when the girls meet, its like looking in a mirror - theyre identical! Now get this! Both Tamara and Adrianas adoptive fathers died when the girls were children. Both girls fell through glass doors at the age of five - thats hard to believe, isnt it? Their boyfriends look alike and havesimilar names - Alex and Adam. And this is the best part - both of them have the same recurring dream. Isnt that incredible - they have the same dream!I think its an amazing story. So, for all those of you out there who have comments, and Im sure you do, the lines are open.
