From left: Jessica and Nicole. Two half-sisters, 48 and 51, who found about each other a year ago after a DNA test.

Two half-sisters who had never met until a DNA test discovered they had both given their children the other’s name.

Jessica, whose mother was adopted, had always been curious about her family and ordered a DNA test from Ancestry.com. Meanwhile, Nicole, who’d already done a DNA test, was checking her profile one day and was shocked to find she had a new genetic match.

She contacted the woman whom the site said was her half-sister on her paternal side. Over social media, they decided to meet in the summer of 2023.

And although the two women didn’t know each other, they were shocked to find strange parallels between their lives such as naming their children after each other.

Nicole named her daughter Jessica and Jessica named her son Nicholas. Nicole from Waterford, Michigan, said she always wanted a sister “so finding Jessica just felt too perfect.”

“I personally feel that the universe brought us together now for a reason, but there was a plan all along.”

For Jessica it was a double surprise: she had a sister, but also the person she had called dad all her life was not her biological father.

“I was in shock at first,” she told the British news media service SWNS. “After I read the message from Nicole, I went through so many emotions in about 10 minutes. I felt a second grief for my father, who had already passed years prior, and then a sense of joy for these newfound family members.”

Jessica traveled up from her home in Florida to stay with Nicole in Michigan, where her sons also live.

“We so easily fit together and could just talk for ages with each other,” she admitted. “I immediately felt like she was a mini-me.”

The sisters are unclear as to what happened nearly 50 years ago. Both of Jessica’s parents died years before the two sisters met and Nicole’s dad, who is also Jessica’s biological father, passed away 20 years ago.

“I grew up with our father in the home but Jessica grew up not knowing him at all and with a different father,” Nicole explained. “We have both lost all of our parents, so there is unfortunately no one left to ask about how all this happened.”

Over the past year of getting to know each other, the women have continued to discover strange parallels between their lives.

“Not only did I name my daughter Jessica, but she named her two sons Michael, which is the same name as our shared father, and Nicholas, like me,” said Nicole. “Growing up, people always called me and my dad Mick and Nick, which is what everyone calls Jessica’s sons.”

“We also both have the same middle name, Lenore, inspired by a poem by our father’s favorite writer, Edgar Allen Poe,” she continued. “Both of us unfortunately lost our mothers in the same way, to a heroin overdose, but at different times during our lives.”

Jessica joked that it’s nice to finally have a family member whom she looks like, but added that she’s so grateful the universe brought the two long-lost sisters together.
