They became friends at school and discovered that they were sisters for a selfie.

It was the first day of school at Zwaanswyk High School in South Africa and the beginning of the last year of Micah Solomon. On this day of January 2015, a group of enthusiastic students surrounded the 17-year-old girl to tell her that there was a new student, Cassidy Nurse, three years younger than her, but almost identical to Miché.

At first, Micah did not think much about the physical resemblance that they had, but when they met each other in the school lobby, Miché said that he had felt a connection instant that he could not explain. Despite the age difference, Miché and Cassidy started spending a lot of time together. "I would say, 'Hello, little sister!', She would say: 'Hello, big sister!' Sometimes we would go to the bathroom together and say: & # 39; 39; Let me brush your hair, let me give you a lip gloss. "

Then one day, the two men took a selfie together and showed it to their friends. Someone asked Miché if she was sure she had not been adopted. "No, you are crazy!" He replied. When they showed the selfie to Miché's mother, Lavona, she also commented on how young women were identical.

Michael, Micah's father, said that he knew his daughter's new friend: Cassidy's father had an electrical appliance store where he sometimes bought. But Cassidy's parents, Celeste and Morne Nurse, asked their daughter to ask Miché if she was born on April 30, 1997. "I replied," Why? Do you spy on Facebook? "says Miché.

Cassidy assured him that he was not watching her, that he just wanted to know when he would be born. Miché responded that he was born on April 30, 1997. A few weeks later, they unexpectedly called Miché to the director's office where two social workers were waiting.

They told Micah the story of Zephany Nurse, a three-day-old baby who had been kidnapped at Groote Schuur Hospital 17 years ago and who had never been found. DNA results showed that Miché Solomon and Zephany Nurse were the same person.

Lavona Solomon, the woman who had raised Micah and believed that she was his mother, had been arrested. Although Celeste and Morne Nurse had three other children, they never stopped looking for their firstborn, Zephany (Micah), and celebrated their birthday every year, even after their divorce.

Meanwhile, his stolen daughter has become very close to them. The Solomon's house is only 5 kilometers from the nurses' house. When I was little, mike was running in the fields in front of the nurse's house, while Michael was playing football there.

Micah Solomon chose to keep the name with which she was raised instead of the name with which she was born. Despite the psychological catastrophe of discovering that the woman who had raised her had stolen her, she had managed to make peace with both her identities.
