Stephanie and Kim, 39, are fraternal twins and breast cancer survivors.
They searched for years to find their birth mother. They had a happy life with their adoptive parents, but always wondered who gave birth to them. When Stephanie was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, they were allowed access to their mom's medical records. They soon learned that both their birth mom and their grandmother had died from the same cancer. The twist? This fact was crossed out on their grandmother's documents, most likely because they wanted to increase the chance the twins would be adopted.
Their story is incredibly powerful. Watch and let us know what you think:
