Twin sisters who were adopted and separated at birth were brought back together thanks to a YouTube video.

Raised on different continents, neither Samantha or Anaïs, both 27, knew that the other existed until last year.


Anaïs, a French fashion design student living in London, was left stunned when her friends came across a video featuring Samantha on YouTube and sent her a grab.

Shocked by their identical appearance, she did some online research and discovered they were both born in the same country and shared the same birthday.

‘On February 21, 2013, I received a message via Twitter that would change my life,’ explained Samantha.

‘It was a mention from a stranger, letting me know that a girl named Anaïs had friended me on Facebook.

She added: ‘At first glance, I saw only my own face staring back from her profile picture.
‘Yet, after just a few clicks & a personal message from Anaïs, I knew I was about to embark on a journey that no one else had ventured before. ‘

After some Skype sessions, the ‘twinsters’ eventually met up in May 2013 and immediately hit it off.
The pair are now raising funds via kickstarter to complete a feature-length film about their remarkable story.
