Sis Finds Long Lost Brother Across Street

After three decades, a brother is reunited with his long lost sister. The crazy part is that they lived across the street from each other for two and a half years before realizing that they were related. Candace Eloph was talking to one of her neighbors, Jamie Wheat, one afternoon. She told him that her mother had given up her baby son for adoption in 1977 when she was sixteen years old. Wheat told her that he was born on January 21, 1977 and that he was adopted because his sixteen year old mother had given him up. After this coincidence, the two took a blood test. The results showed that there was a 99.995% chance the they were related. The two, including there families, were ecstatic. After a thirty year search, the long lost siblings finally found each other, across the street nonetheless. I think this is interesting because of how the two found each other. It is sometimes common to find a long lost sibling. Rarely ever do you hear that they were neighbors. It is interesting how things work out.
