Coincidental hospital employment reunites orphaned sisters after 40 years

The reunited sisters

US: Two orphaned South Korean sisters were recently reunited by chance in Florida after they were hired by the same hospital 40 years after their adoptions by different sets of American parents, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.

Holly Hoyle O'Brien, 46, and her half-sister Meaghan Hughes, 44, were orphaned in their native Pusan, South Korea, in the mid-1970s when their father, an alcoholic, was hit by a train, the sisters told the paper. Neither can recall their mothers.
