A Man Adopted Six Decades Ago Discovers He Has Four Identical Siblings
At 60, Phillip Granger’s life took a shocking turn when a stranger accused him of cheating in a restaurant. Confused, Phillip learned the woman had mistaken him for a doctor named Ralf Gois, who looked exactly like him. Encouraged by his wife Mara, Phillip contacted Ralf, and they discovered they were identical twins, both adopted and born on the same day.
The twins met, laughed, cried, and embraced their newfound bond. Eager to uncover their past, Ralf accessed hospital records and made a startling discovery: they were part of a set of quintuplets. The brothers posted selfies online, appealing for help finding their siblings.
Their story went viral, and soon they reunited with two more brothers, Tom and Gordon. The four felt joy but knew one sibling was still missing. Then, David, the fifth brother, appeared — and he wasn’t alone. By his side was their biological mother, Janet Corbin.
Janet tearfully explained she’d been a terrified 16-year-old forced to give up four of her quintuplets while keeping one. Decades later, their reunion brought healing and the joy of a complete family.
