separated twins
Siblings raised apart
Separated twins are twins raised apart from each other, typically from infancy.
The term usually refers to identical twins separated through adoption or family circumstances, who become subjects of scientific interest because comparing their similarities and differences helps researchers distinguish genetic from environmental influences.
Stories of separated twins reuniting as adults—discovering shared habits, preferences, or life choices—fascinate the public: The separated twins met at age 35 and found they'd both become firefighters.
