Kind of a messed up story about my friend's family

[Azndude51]

My friend, let's call him Joe, has a cousin in China, who I'll call Mike. Anyway, Mike is coming to America for college, he came early to live with Joe and his parents until next semester starts. When Mike got here, Joe's parents tell them both, "oh yeah, we didn't tell you, but you guys are actually twin brothers." Mike's "mom" (actually his aunt) couldn't have a child, so Joe's mom gave her one of her kids when she had fraternal twins. They didn't tell either of them until now.
Isn't it kind of messed up to find that out? especially for Mike, to have to hear it from his REAL mom who he thought was his aunt?

That's pretty cool. How will they deal with this legally?

yea that's pretty messed up. it's not uncommon to have families split up like that or siblings raised separately, but the fact is not usually concealed.

Actually, they do. Well, they look like brothers They have similar body types and facial features.

Perhaps, but my friend said that his aunt couldn't conceive. So maybe they did it for both reasons, to give his aunt a child and to abide by the one child rule.

Has anyone actually seen them together? Maybe it is the same person just pulling OP's leg.

They were both born in China. What I'm wondering is who has the real birthday?

Just make sure he doesn't choke on the sweet air of freedom when he gets off the plane.
