A couple in Brazil discovered the truth about their origins after nearly 20 years of living together. Adriana and Leandro anonymously shared their story on a local radio station, revealing a family secret that changed their lives.
A life built together
The pair had lived together for about 19 years and were raising a daughter when they learned they were actually brother and sister. Since childhood, both had searched for their biological mothers, believing they had been abandoned at a young age.
An overlooked coincidence
Adriana said they once found it amusing that their mothers shared the same name. Maria is a very common name, so the couple decided it was just a coincidence.
A radio program reveals the truth
The mystery was resolved when Adriana contacted a radio station for help. During a program dedicated to reuniting lost relatives, a woman identifying herself as her mother called in and revealed she also had a son named Leandro who was unaware of her existence.
It soon became clear that Adriana and Leandro had been searching for the same person.
Moving forward as a family
The couple emphasized that they do not blame their mother and remain in contact with her. They said they discussed the situation together as a family and decided to continue living together, despite the possibility of public condemnation.
