Sara and Isabella: Twin Sisters!

Sara didn't even know Isabella existed, until her Pappa, explained everything to her. Isabella had contacted Markus and wanted to meet her family. Isabella knew she was adopted, but she didn't know the story behind her adoption and neither did her adoptive parents, brother, until she searched out her bological family. Markus explaned everything to Sara and then they explained everything to the Elsa, Elvira and Johanna. 2 weeks later, Isabella visited the Súnderlindt's.

Here is the story of how Sara and Isabella came to be in the foster home , how Isabella came to be adopted and how she met her family after all those years:

When Isabella and Sara's parents were young, in their mid 20's, they were living together, unmarried .Their respective families were not happy about this and basically wanted to "leave them alone" so they weren't on speaking terms with them (It was mostly Helena's Mamma; Erla, who felt that way). Meanwhile, Helena and Markus had most of their money stolen out of their bank accounts! It turned out to be someone working at their bank. While that was going on, Helena got pregnant----with Sara and Isabella. Both she and Markus felt that it would be best to put them a temporary foster home. (The girls were 1 years old then.) So that's what they did!

With the help of a foster agency. Once their troubles (or so they thought) were over and they had enough money to keep things stable, they went to pick up Sara and Isabella, when they got there, Sara was there, but Isabella was not. She'd been adopted! A man, who was supposedly working for an adoption agency, forged and faked doctuments stating that Isabella was to be put up for adoption. Why he only choose Isabella, no one but he knows. He even found a good home! He made sure that he couldn't be traced or that no one could prove that the adoption was illegal.

So Markus and Helena's hands were tied. There was nothing they could do, except leave Isabella in the care of her adoptive family, which by that point, Markus and Helena had managed to find out were good people and would take good care of Isabella.

Forward 16/17 years and it's 2007 and Isabella found Markus, Sara, Elsa, Elvira and Johanna (Helena had died by then). She contacted Markus and they talked on the phone. She asked if she could meet him and her sisters. He agreed, so a week later (Markus was nervous about telling his daughters all this), he told Sara first all of what happened and of course that she had an identical twin who was 12 minutes younger than her. 2 weeks after that, Isabella met the Súnderlindt's; her family and well, the rest is history!

Isabella visits her family often and Sara has even met Isabella's adoptive family and they welcomed her and their sisters. Isabella, as it turns out, lives in Stockholm. The furthest from Liljeholmen you can get without leaving Stockholm, but still close enough. Wow! Sara and Isabella are as close as anyone can be and the whole "twin thing" is in full force.
