The Two Sisters Met Eachother on a Vacation With Their Families
Ward’s outreach surprised McLaughlin in a great way and she decided to do the DNA kit herself. It turned out the two women were actually half-sisters. So, after McLaughlin’s test confirmed it, the two women interacted through social media apps and constant phone calls. According to Ward, the two once spoke for three hours and discussed topics like food and places they like to go. It turned out the two sisters had many similar mannerisms, gestures, sense of humor, and tastes.
So, soon after they reached out to each other, the two sisters planned a get-together. Ward and her husband, Colin, flew to the USA to join McLaughlin and her husband, Jack, and the couple’s adult children for a beachfront vacation in North Carolina. They met each other in person for the first time at the airport and described the feeling as surreal and overwhelming. The two women have now entered the second half of their lives, where they have a sister.
