Family celebrates 'miracle of life' after testing shows sibling are perfect match for bone marrow 

A group of sisters are reunited with a long-lost sibling after over six decades!

It's a short walk from mars front door to the chair on her sidewalk. I didn't expect it to be so windy. But that's okay. She's reached the end of a long journey. Who would know 65 years later that I would find them a new beginning. This is it. That's worth. Celebration says I've been lost. But now I'm found tonight. This only child was adopted by her parents as a baby. But she's always wanted to know more about where she came from. I'm going to blow bubbles. She just found out she has a family filled with sisters in texas. Oh my gosh. I just, I can't believe this is going on. She only has to wait. They said they were on their way a little bit longer. Uh, I've been found yet. Not. I've not lost no more. I'm getting over honey. There's sandy carla, Renee her daughter Michaela. This moment. More than six decades in the making. But someone is still missing. I'm very sad that Grenet can't be here. Let me open the door for you. But I do know that Grenet a most definitely had a huge hand in this huge hand in this. More than a year ago, another sister Graymeta ordered a DNA ancestry test online. Another attempt to find the sibling their mother put up for adoption, conetta passed away last year. So Michaela took the test instead. Always wanted to do it. So I ended up doing it and I sent it out. I finally got the results back and I was like who's mara for years, the sisters had been looking in the wrong places. As soon as she pulled the picture up on facebook, she just started bawling because she looks a lot like our oldest sister that passed away. And I'm like, well I found an address. She does. Well I found the phone number and she said, are you going to call her? I said hello, Yes right now. Right now. That was in March and here they are today, catching up on decades of memories. There she is with her hair and rollers. We were at the lake house. That's me on the map while mara learns about the woman who gave her life. I never ever regretted what she did. I just, it is what it is and it is what it is. Now. Now you look like you're there now a sisterhood. No, I'm not the only child anymore and I'm proud of that. A bond that's just naturally there. Here a new journey begins. One. They'll all walk into together. I love them. And I let my nieces too. I'm just I wanted to know if you had ever heard a story about her being with anyone had a motive.
