Adriana, 39, from Brazil, had always wanted to know who her real mum was and finding husband Leandro, 37, who was in a similar situation, gave her the reason to.
The couple, who have not revealed their surnames, worked together to find their respective biological mothers and put an end to the unknown. Both of their mothers had walked out on them as kids and they found it "funny" that they were both called Maria.
Leandro, who was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, found out as an eight-year-old that the woman he thought was his mother was actually his stepmother. While Adriana, who was also born in Sao Paulo, was told that her mother had left the family home when she was just one.
The cosmetic saleswoman moved away from her family to become a housemaid and was married for 15 years previously, having three children. Her marriage eventually broke down and she was forced to return to the local area. This is where she met truck driver Leandro ten years ago. The two hit it off, they soon fell in love and began living together.
With both of them still in a search for their missing parent, Adriana contacted a radio station last month who were offering the chance to find lost relatives. Radio Globo's 'The Time Is Now' programme invited Adriana on to the show and told her they had found her brother.
In a soul-destroying discovery, they told her that his name was Leandro, he was 37 and lived in the same area as she did - her partner of seven years. She told the radio station in the interview: "I don't believe that you're telling me this. Leandro is my husband. "Now I'm scared to go home and find out that Leandro doesn't want me any more. I love him so much." But despite the shocking reveal, the two, who never legally married, remained defiant to stay together.
Adriana said: "Of course it would have been different if we had known all this before, but we didn't and we fell in love. "We thought it was funny that both our mothers had the same name, but it is a common name so we just thought it was a coincidence. "All this happened because God wanted it to happen. Only death is going to separate us."
The couple said they don't blame their mother for leaving them, have spoken with her a number of times since and plan to meet up soon. Source: dailystar.co.uk
