I Finally Met My Sister After More Than 50 Years Apart

Last year, we shared the wonderful story of Diane Ward and Mary McLaughlin — half-sisters who found each other thanks to a MyHeritage DNA test. The sisters were eager to meet each other in person, but were unable to for several years due to pandemic-related travel restrictions. So they stayed in touch across the Atlantic and waited for the opportunity to arise. That moment finally came in June: Diane flew to North Carolina to spend the weekend with her sister.
