The sisters reuniting separated siblings at camp
Lynn Price and Andi Andree were separated as young children and raised with different foster families. They now run camps across the US bringing together other separated siblings.
Lynn Price and Andi Andree were separated as young children and raised with different foster families - they didn't even know of each other's existence until they were introduced at the ages of 8 and 9. Although they eventually formed a close sibling bond, Lynn was determined to help other siblings like them and in 1995 she set up Camp To Belong where siblings separated by the foster care system could spend time together building precious memories. Andi volunteered at the camps and worked together with Lynn for many years, and the camps are still going strong today. But, as the sisters tell Anu Anand, there was another twist to come in their family story.
In December 1988 two sets of identical twin boys were born in different hospitals in Colombia. Somehow the babies got mixed up and one brother from each set went home with the other brother. The boys were brought up as non-identical twins and none of them had any idea that they had an identical brother somewhere out there... until a chance encounter a few years ago. Natalio Cosoy went to meet them in Bogota in 2016.
