Teen finds girl identical to her on TikTok, turns out they were twins stolen at birth
Elene Deisadze, a 19-year-old girl from Georgia has reunited with her twin sister, someone who she didn't even know existed until a few months ago. It was sometime in 2022 when Deisadze came across a girl on TikTok, who looked exactly like her.?Curious, she immediately reached out to the other girl, Anna Panchulidze, and soon they became friends.?
But little did they know at that time that there was some deeper connection between them than friendship.?While talking about their families both conveyed to the other that they were adopted, and it then struck them that they could be more than just friends.

They took a DNA test and learned that they looked similar because they were identical twins.
¡°We became friends without suspecting we might be sisters, but both of us felt there was some special bond between us,¡± Elene said.
Elene¡¯s adoptive mother, Lia Korkotadze said that she had adopted her in 2005 from a hospital when she was six months old.
While the twin sisters have been reunited by chance, they still don't know who their biological parents are. That is because they are among the thousands of trafficking victims in Georgia - children who were stolen at birth and sold to childless couples.
The test for Elene and Anna was arranged with the help of Georgian journalist Tamuna Museridze, who runs a Facebook group dedicated to reuniting babies stolen from their parents. It has more than 200,000 members ¡ª including mothers who were told by hospital staff that their babies had died shortly after being born, but then discovered years later they might be alive.

Museridze set up the group in 2021 in a bid to find her own family after learning she had been adopted. She soon uncovered the mass baby-selling operation.
