Man Who Was Adopted 60 Years Ago Learns He Has 4 Carbon Copies\n

Phillip Granger thought that he must have one of those common faces because many people had been coming up to him and mistaking him for other men.\n

Things came to a head when Phillip was 60 years old and out to dinner with his wife.
\n\u201cSo you had to work tonight?\u201d she screamed.\n

\u201cYou had an emergency surgery? You CHE:A:T! We are over!\u201d\n

\"\"
\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry honey,\u201d he said to Mara.\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on!\u201d But Mara was on her feet and following the woman out of the restaurant.\n

Crazy things happen to ordinary people every day.
\n\u201cExcuse me,\u201d Mara said when she caught up with the woman. \u201cPlease, can you tell me what\u2019s going on?\u201d\n

\u201cWho are you?\u201d the woman asked angrily. \u201cHis girlfriend?\u201d\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Mara replied. \u201cI\u2019m his wife.\u201d\n

\u201cHe\u2019s MARRIED?\u201d the woman cried. \u201cI swear it\u2019s the last time I date a doctor! Dr. Ralf Gois! I should have known!\u201d\n

\u201cMy husband\u2019s name is Phillip Granger,\u201d Mara said. \u201cAnd he\u2019s not a doctor.\u201d\n

The woman looked surprised. \u201cOh my God!\u201d she gasped. \u201cBut he looks EXACTLY like Ralf! Like a twin!\u201d By the time the woman left, Mara had Dr. Ralf Gois\u2019 phone number.\n

\u201cListen, Phil,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is very strange. That woman said this Ralf looks exactly like you, like a twin. You were adopted, so maybe this guy IS your twin.\u201d\n

Phillip was amazed.
\nPhil and Ralf met and it was like looking into a mirror. The two men couldn\u2019t stop laughing and crying and hugging each other.\n

The two men rushed to the hospital where Ralf led his newfound twin to his office and accessed the hospital records. \u201cEasy as pie,\u201d he cried excitedly, then Phil saw his brother\u2019s face turn white as snow.\n

\u201cRalf?\u201d he asked. \u201cAre you OK? Did you find her?\u201d Ralf looked up at Phil with huge glazed eyes and nodded dumbly. \u201cCome on, what\u2019s her name?\u201d Phil cried impatiently.\n

\u201cJanet Corbin,\u201d he whispered. \u201cBut Phil\u2026\u201d\n

\u201cThat\u2019s great!\u201d Phil said grinning. \u201cSo what\u2019s the problem?\u201d\n

\u201cThere\u2019s five of us\u2026\u201d Ralf gasped. \u201cFIVE!\u201d\n

Phil and Ralf took a selfie together and put it on their Instagram accounts, told their story, and appealed to anyone who thought they looked like someone they knew to come forward:\n

\u201cHelp us find our brothers!\u201d
\nThe messages spread and soon Ralf and Phil met Tom and Gordon \u2014 and their reunion was incredible.\n

The four brothers took another selfie and repeated their appeal, and by then, their story had gone national with TV stations calling them for interviews.\n

Ralf, Phil, Tom, and Gordon were having dinner at Phil\u2019s house when the doorbell rang and Mara got up to answer it. She came back with a huge smile on her face.\n

\u201cWho was it?\u201d asked Phil.\n

\u201cActually,\u201d said Mara, \u201cit\u2019s you\u2026\u201d\n

She stepped aside so the four men could see the last quintuple, who was exactly like his brothers. \u201cThis is David\u2026\u201d\n

David walked into the middle of his brothers, but he wasn\u2019t alone. By his side was a tiny elderly woman. \u201cThis,\u201d David said, \u201cis mom.\u201d\n

The woman had tears in her eyes. \u201cI\u2019m Janet Corbin,\u201d she said.\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m so sorry, so sorry\u2026\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
