It's been 78 years since Ann Hunt and Elizabeth Hamel were last together, in their mother's womb.
The Orange County Register reported today (https://bsmedia.business-standard.combit.Ly/1nbVonS ) that the twin sisters reunited Thursday for the first time since birth in Fullerton, California, thanks to a nudge from from their children and help from a psychology professor.
Hunt, who lives in England, was given up for adoption and only learned she had a twin when she began looking for her birth mother after her adopted mother died.
Hamel, who lives in Oregon, always knew she had a twin but says she never thought she would see her again.
Hamel's son reached out to California State University professor Nancy Segal, who researches twins and helped coordinate the reunion.
