Twins Separated at Birth in Georgia Reunite After Discovering Each Other on TikTok

Their reunion sheds light on a larger child trafficking scandal in Georgia, with thousands of babies reportedly stolen from hospitals and sold over decades.

  • Identical twin sisters Amy Khvitia and Ano Sartania, born in Georgia in 2002, were separated at birth and sold to different families as part of an illegal child adoption market.
  • The sisters discovered each other's existence years later through a TikTok video and a TV talent show, leading to their reunion.
  • Their birth mother, Aza, fell into a coma after giving birth and was told by hospital staff that the babies had died.
  • The twins' story sheds light on a larger issue in Georgia, where thousands of babies were stolen from hospitals and sold over decades, a scandal that remains largely unresolved.
  • In 2022, the Georgian government launched an investigation into historic child trafficking, but the cases are old and much of the data has been lost.
