"Twin sisters" discover they were adopted at birth in chance meeting on TikTok

Two mums who crossed paths on TikTok unravelled both of their families' deep secrets through their random encounter.

Cheng Keke and Zhang Li were left gobsmacked by how alike they looked and it also turns out the 30-year-olds also share the same birthday.

Not only that but they share the blood type and have a mole above their left eyebrow which raised their suspicions further.

When they confronted their separate families they discovered they had both been adopted by their parents when they were babies in Gongyi.

The bombshell news has now lead the women to believe they are long-lost twins, Newsweek reports.

Cheng told Henan Television that when she first messaged Zhang on Douyin - the Chinese version of TikTok - she was initially mistaken for a scammer.

She told the TV station: "I sent her (Zhang) a private message saying: 'You should ask your parents how many daughters they have.'"

Cheng said she persuaded Zhang to chat to her by sending her a selfie which proved how alike they looked.

"When we had our first video call, it was like I was talking to myself," Cheng said adding that 'it was like looking in the mirror'.

Cheng traveled 30 miles to meet Zhang for the first time last month and after seeing each other face-to-face they are now convinced they are twin sisters.

They both said their families have admitted to adopting them in Gongyi when they were babies.

However neither set of parents have any paperwork to prove the adoption which would have been issued to them at the time.

Cheng and Zhang, who are both married with children, now plan to have a DNA test to determine if their suspicions are correct.
