A couple named Adriana and Leandro, living in Brazil, discovered they were siblings while trying to find their mother, who abandoned them as babies and whose name is also Maria, after 19 years of being together.
Adriana (39) and Leandro (37), who live in Brazil, sought help to find their biological mother, whom they had been searching for years after living together for about 19 years and raising a daughter. Both were abandoned by their mothers as babies and knew that their mother's name was Maria. This common knowledge was initially considered a coincidence.
IT TURNED OUT THEY WERE SIBLINGS
The search progressed through a local radio program. During the program, Adriana's biological mother was revealed; however, during the conversation, it was discovered that the mother also had another child — this child was Leandro. Thus, the fact that Adriana and her husband Leandro had the same biological mother, meaning they were siblings, came to light.
“THEY DECIDED TO MAINTAIN THE RELATIONSHIP”
The couple stated that despite facing the shocking truth, they maintained their love and commitment to each other. According to some reports, they decided to continue the relationship and considered staying together as a family. Experts indicate that psychological phenomena such as Genetic Sexual Attraction can sometimes be influential in such situations.
